Thanks to Verity Sharland for reminding me about this feature and proudly showing me her very organised google drive. So the essence of this tip is to colour code your folders in google drive. Below is the inside of my Year 12 Outdoor Ed folders. I have coloured the different folders different colours. So when I am going about my work and need to find a document quickly I can find it without even reading the title simply by looking for the colour of folder I want.
You can of course take this further and make all similar folders the same colour. For example in I have an assessment folder in all of my year level folders that I teach. I can make them all the same colour. See the steps below for how to do this really straight forward tip.
- Right mouse click on the folder you want, choose Change colour.
- Click on the colour you want. It's that easy!
