As an IT administrator, you may find yourself needing to open DOC, PPT, or XLS files with Google Drive using double clicks from your computer. This is a relatively straightforward process, but it requires some setup before you can get started.
The first step is to decide which Google account you will be using to open the files with. This is important because it will determine which account you will need to use to access the files. Once you have chosen an account, you will need to link it to the computer. To do this, you can either use the Google Drive app or the Google Drive website.
If you are using the Google Drive app, the process is relatively straightforward. First, open the Google Drive app and select the “Settings” option. From there, you will need to select the “Linked Accounts” tab, then click “Link a Google Account.” You will then be prompted to enter the email address of the Google account you want to link.
If you are using the Google Drive website, the setup process is a bit more involved. First, you will need to log into the Google Drive website with the account you want to link. Then, you will need to click the “Settings” option in the sidebar and select the “Linked Accounts” tab. From there, you will be able to link your Google account to the computer.
Once you have linked your Google account to the computer, you will be able to use double clicks to open DOC, PPT, or XLS files with Google Drive. To do this, simply find the file in your Google Drive folder on your computer and double-click it. The file should open in your browser and you will be able to view, edit, or save it as you would any other file.
In addition to double clicks, you can also use the Google Drive app to open these files. To do this, simply open the Google Drive app and select the file you want to open. You will then be able to view, edit, or save the file as you would any other file.
In summary, it is relatively straightforward to open DOC, PPT, or XLS files with Google Drive using double clicks from your computer. To get started, you will need to decide which Google account you will be using to open the files with and link it to the computer. Once you have done this, you can use double clicks to open the files in your browser. Alternatively, you can open the files directly from the Google Drive app.
