Google Drive is an online file storage service that you have as a CSUDH student and is accessible through your ToroMail. You can also use it to create documents and store, share folders and files with other people. 🌟 We highly recommend using Google Drive as a place to organize and keep all of your class work. In addition to managing your coursework in Google Drive, in your final semester, LBS 400 is a course in which you will be finalizing your online portfolio. By storing all of your classwork in Google Drive, you will have easier access to your files as you build your portfolio with your work samples.

If you are unfamiliar with how to access Google Drive, screenshots have been included to help you access the drive.
