Using Google Drive or OneDrive on Virtual Labs 2.0

You can do the following in Google Drive

Open and edit files and folders that you store in Google Drive. Content that is stored in your Google Drive is specific to you. Other users cannot access your content unless you choose to share it.
Upload and download files between your local computer and Google Drive. Any changes that you make to your files and folders in Google Drive during a streaming session are automatically backed up and synchronized. They are available to you when you sign in to your Google Drive account and access Google Drive outside of your streaming session.
When you are working in an application, you can access your files and folders that are stored in Google Drive. Choose File, Open from the application interface, and browse to the file or folder that you want to open.
To save your changes in a file to your Google Drive, choose File, Save from the application, and browse to the location in Google Drive where you want to save the file.
You can also access Google Drive by choosing My Files from the top left of the Navigation toolbar.
