Putting Files in More Than One Folder in Google Drive

Did you know that Google now lets our files live in more than one folder in Google Drive? That’s right, you can now select a file and add it to as many of your folders as you would like. The best part is, this feature works for any of the files in your “My Drive “as well as any files in “Shared with me”.  This is another example of how Google is continuing to improve the organization features of Google Drive.

Step 2: Click on “File” on the menu bar at the top of your screen. Then, click on “Organize”.

Step 3: Next, simply hold down the “Ctrl” key on your keyboard and click all of the folders in which you want this specific document to live in. Click “Move” when all of the folders you want are selected.
