how to upload a word doc to google drive

To upload a Word document to Google Drive, follow these steps:

1. Go to drive.google.com on your computer and log in to your Google account.
2. Click the "New" button at the top left of the page.
3. Select "File Upload" from the dropdown menu.
4. Locate and select the Word document file from your computer, then click "Open" to start uploading.
5. The file will upload to your Google Drive, and you will see a notification confirming the upload.

After uploading, you can open the Word document directly in Google Drive for viewing. To edit it as a Google Doc, right-click on the Word document, select "Open with," and then choose "Google Docs." This converts the Word document into a Google Docs format, allowing you to edit and collaborate on it fully.

Additionally, you can also drag and drop the Word document file directly into the Google Drive folder area on the website to upload it.

This process works the same on desktops, and there is a similar method using the Google Drive app for mobile devices. This is the standard and easy way to upload and convert Word documents to Google Drive/Docs.
