Open in Google (Google Backup Running)

In this article will discuss how to open up certain documents in Google Drive from your desktop or downloads folder by right click clicking. Please note the prerequisite for this working is that you have Google backup running on your computer and backing up your documents and desktop folders. If you're not sure if you have this set up, please see the article here Backing Up Your Files with Google Drive (MacOS)

1. Download your file as normal. This can be done from any system power school any website that has downloaded to use or email. I'm just using Gmail as an example here.

2. Navigate to your downloads folder or whatever folder you've saved/download the document. By default. This is most likely going to be the download folder on your PC or Mac. One easy way to get there is to click on the folder icon that's located next to the download notification in the chrome browser.

3. From here, you should be able to write click on your file and click open with Google Drive. Note this will only show if you have Google backup turned on for the downloads folder or the folder that you saved your document too.
