Google Drive

A friend of mine has sent me some videos from his Google Drive for me to download, but I don't know how to access Drive on my computer. Any help please?

Your Drive should look like a yellow folder on your desktop.

Right click on the video and click on Save As then choose the folder you want to save it too.

I'm confused. You shouldn't need to 'access Drive' on your computer'. You should simply be able to click on the link that you've been provided with to download the video file from your friend's online folder. Once you've downloaded it, double-click on it to play it with your computer's default media player.

Thanks Tiggs and Chris, all sorted.

Open a account with Google Photos Its free and you get 15GB of free storage Your friends photos will not take up any of this storage as you are seeing it from their drive but you can put photos of your own in which will use your data The plus side if you delete the photos of your hard drive unlike Apples iCloud it dosent loose them
