• Your Windows password and your Google password will be synced

If you still need assistance, please contact your building’s computer lab assistant, or the district’s Help Desk via email, or at (315) 692-1111.

Please note that K-4 passwords should only be changed with the help of a computer lab assistant.

Using Google Apps

Google Drive on the Web

With Google Drive on the web students can:

• Create, add, or upload a file with a single button.
• Easily find and add shared files.
• Single-click a file to select it and double-click to open it.
• Drag and drop files and folders, just like you do on your desktop.
• Share files with others and choose what they can do with them: view, comment, or edit.
• Access your files even when you’re not connected to the Internet.

Google Drive on a mobile device

If you’re on the go, you can still access all of your files. Just download Google Drive on your phone or tablet and you’re all set.

• View, share, and organize your files.
• Upload and store new files directly from your phone or tablet.
• Print files from your mobile device.
• Scan important documents using the camera on your mobile device.
• Access your files even when you’re not connected to the Internet.
