Step 1: Open Google Drive

On your computer, open a web browser (like Chrome or Edge).

Go to drive.google.com

Log in with your Google account if it asks.

Step 2: Look for Your Files

When Google Drive opens, you should see a list of your files and folders.

Check that your important files (like documents, photos, or school work) are there.

Gathering you’ll show a few examples here via a screenshot or two??

Step 3: Check the Folders

Click on the My Drive section on the left.

Make sure you can see the folders or files you care about, like Documents, Photos, or whatever you normally use.

Step 4: Upload Something (to Be Sure)

If you don’t see your latest files, you can upload them now:

Drag a file from your computer into the Google Drive window.

Again, a screenshot or two….

Or click the big + New button on the left, then choose File upload

Step 5: Double-Check

After uploading, refresh the page.

If your file is there, Google Drive is backing up correctly.

Step 6: Done

If your files are showing in Google Drive, it means they’re saved online and safe even if your computer gets wiped.
