It was relevant although I think it may need some updating. There were certain features I couldn't find on my current drive because I was trying to do practicals as I was going along. I think the video is a little old.

It was very informative, a little fast at times, glad I can go back and review. Chris was very clear on everything he taught

I wanted to go into more detail about how to organize Drive, how to view and search available documents, etc. I got enough from this to better understand how to organize my drive better, but a course focused on just that would be great so I don't have to fast forward through the stuff that's less relevant (like how to sign up for Drive).

Good course. I didn’t grow up in a tech era so google drive is something new to me. Now I understand what it is and how to use the basic features.

I took the course thinking that I may learn a thing or two however I am am happy to report that I learned 10 or 12 different features that I did not know before taking this course. Great work. I am very glad I took it and learned a lot about the details and features. I highly recommend it and will take a lot more of these. The instructor is a MAC person but he remembered to mention the PC world which made it useful to me. Thank you for creating this course; I know it takes a lot of time and effort to create the classes.
