Setting up a Google account

It's always my recommendation that faculty create a separate Google account for your school related work. This is pretty simple to do without needing to create a new email account. Follow the steps below to start a new Google account linked to your professional school email address.

 

1. Navigate to accounts.google.com Links to an external site.. Look for the link that says "more options" and then click "create account."

2. Fill in your name and information, and when asked about creating a gmail account, click the link for "I prefer to use my current email address."

3. Finally, when logged in to your new account, click the Applications Icon (9 little squares in a grid) and select the Drive icon to enter your new Google Drive.

Once you're in your new Google Drive, click Next below to learn how to navigate and organize files in your drive.
