A Step-by-Step Guide to Uploading Files in Google Drive Using Phone

First, make sure you have the Google Drive app installed on your phone. This is a crucial step, as you won't be able to upload files without it.

Open the Google Drive app on your phone, and sign in with your Google account credentials. Ensure you're using the same account you want to upload files to.

Tap the "+" icon in the bottom right corner of the screen to start the upload process. This icon is usually located near the folder and file icons.

Choose the file you want to upload from your phone's storage or camera roll. You can select multiple files at once by tapping the "Select multiple" option.

To upload files to Google Drive using your phone, you'll need to tap the multi-colored plus symbol in the bottom-right corner of the screen, followed by "Upload." This will open up your phone's file directory, allowing you to browse and select the files you want to upload.

You can upload files that are already formatted as Google files, such as Word docs, without any issues. However, if you have files that aren't in Google's native format, you might need to adjust your Drive settings to convert them. To do this, you'll need to use the desktop version of Drive by going to drive.google.com/drive/settings and checking the box next to "Convert Uploads."
