To add a file to a folder, follow these steps:

  1. Select the item(s) in your Google Drive by checking the box next to its title.
  2. Click the Folder icon above your list of items.
  3. Select the folder where you’d like to store your items. You can also deselect a folder to remove a file from a particular folder.
  4. Click Apply changes.


When you're working with a file or Google document, spreadsheet, or presentation, you can add that item to a folder without having to go back to your Drive:

  1. With the file open, click the Folder icon to the right of the file's title.
  2. Select the folder where you’d like to store your items. Or, if you'd like, you can create a new folder.
