Answer 1

It looks like you’re getting ready to submit a Google Doc/Slide/Sheet to your course Drop Box. Below are clear, correct steps (desktop and mobile) and a few troubleshooting tips.

Desktop (Windows/Mac)
1. Open the Google file (Docs/Slides/Sheets).
2. File > Download and choose a supported format:
- Google Doc → Microsoft Word (.docx) or PDF
- Google Slides → PowerPoint (.pptx) or PDF
- Google Sheet → Excel (.xlsx) or CSV
3. The file will be downloaded to your computer (usually the Downloads folder).
4. In the assignment Drop Box, click Upload files (or Browse).
5. Navigate to the downloaded file, select it, and upload.
6. Confirm the file appears in the Drop Box and click Submit (or Save/Turn In) if required.

Note: Download saves to your computer, not to Google Drive. If you want a copy in Drive, use File > Make a copy before downloading.

Alternative — if the Drop Box uploader can access Google Drive directly
- When you click Upload files, some upload dialogs have a “My Drive” option. If present, choose that, then select your file from Drive.

Mobile (Android/iOS)
- In Google Docs/Slides/Sheets app: open the file → menu (three dots) → Share & export → Save as (choose format) or Download. This saves to your device storage.
- Open the course Drop Box in your device browser/app → Upload files → select the downloaded file from your device storage.

If your teacher asked for a Google link instead of an uploaded file
1. In the Google file: Share → Change to “Anyone with the link” and set Viewer/Commenter/Editor as requested.
2. Copy the shareable link and paste it into the assignment or submit the link per your teacher’s instructions.

Supported formats reminder
PDF, JPG, GIF, PNG, CSV, RTF, TXT, XPS, ZIP, Word (.doc/.docx), Excel (.xls/.xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt/.pptx), Publisher, Open Office — so .docx, .pptx, .xlsx, or PDF are safe choices.

Troubleshooting
- If the upload fails, check file size and internet connection.
- If you can’t download, check browser pop-up/download settings or sign-in status.
- For permission errors when sharing a link, make sure you set the link access to anyone with the link (if required).
