Managing loose files and clutter is a big problem in this day and age. Allowing files to pile up and letting your productivity suffer is easy prey to fall to. If you’re someone that uses Google Docs, likes productivity, suffers from file management, and is having trouble navigating around said files then this article is for you. This article will explain everything from how to make a folder in Google Docs to the proper way of accessing them so that you are able to benefit from them in the best way possible.

How to Make a Folder in Google Docs?

So, first things first. Folders that you create in Google Docs actually save on your Google Drive. You can access and save files on that folder like you would on Google Drive. You can make folders directly on Google Drive, but here, we will create a folder using the Google Docs app and this folder will then automatically become a part of Google Drive. Meaning, your documents created on Google Docs will become a part of Google Drive on its own.

Here’s a step-by-step method on how to make a folder in Google Docs and then how to add files to it:

  • Open a blank (or not) document on Google Docs and click on the folder icon as shown in this image.
  • Then, click on the new folder icon indicated by a folder with a plus sign on it.
  • Name the folder and click on the tick to create the folder.
  • Move the document (blank in this case) to the folder you just created by clicking on Move here.
  • And voila! With that, you have successfully learned how to make a folder in Google Docs along with the process of adding the document to that folder.
