Upload a file or folder to Google Drive on the web
To upload individual items to Drive using your web browser:
Navigate to Drive. Be sure you are logged in, or that you log in with your FullerID account.

In the upper left-hand corner, you will see a button labeled "New" like this:
Once clicked, you may select File upload or Folder upload. Next, choose the file or folder you wish to upload from your computer.
Select Open (for File upload) or Upload (for Folder Upload) in the lower right-hand corner of the floating window to copy the item to your Drive.
A status will appear in the lower right-hand corner of the browser window, providing an estimated time for the upload to complete. When you see Upload complete, your file or folder has successfully uploaded and can instantly be accessed from any browser in any location.
Upload multiple files or folders at once
If you are using the most up-to-date version of your browser (Chrome, Firefox® -- and, yes, even Safari!) you may upload multiple items at once by simply dragging files and/or folders directly from your computer’s File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) window into the open Drive page loaded in your browser. You should see a message like this before “dropping” the items:
TIP: You can select multiple files by holding down Ctrl (Windows) or ⌘ Command (Mac) on your keyboard while clicking each file you want to select with your cursor.
NOTE: If you upload a file that matches the name of an existing file in your Drive, it will be added as a new version instead of creating a duplicate. To see the previous version of that file, you may access it by selecting “Manage Versions…” after right-clicking (Windows) or secondary-clicking (Mac) the item in your Drive list.
