You can send a link to people to upload files directly into your Google Drive with this awesome little free service. This has a lot of handy uses if the sender doesn’t have a GAFE account themselves. Skip the emailing stage and have them put it right in your own Drive folder.

Google recently came out with a new release about searching Drive that has many people excited.
Now, when you use the search in Google Drive, before typing what you want to look for it prompts you in a drop-down list what type of file you are looking for!
And for you iOS users out there, to find a file in your Drive, you can use the iOS search bar now without having to open the Drive app!
For more information on this update, visit Google Drive’s official blog post for more new features:
You can now share grades through Google Drive in Flubaroo directly. Have a look here for more details.
Well… it is finally here.
After many hours of planning our site through Google Hangout discussions and shared Google Docs, after endless screencast recording restarts, Google Drawing edits, HTML fiddling, and litres of coffee, GafeHelp.ca is live!
Our help site was made for all of you Google Apps for Education users out there looking for a little Gafe-Help!
We have a lot planned for GafeHelp – what’s here now is just a start. We look forward to sharing our ideas and curating those of others so that you can get the best out of this amazing suite of tools.
We hope you enjoy the site and find it helpful.
