Early last year, Google said they were “ making it a priority” to find a solution to that issue. This latest attack is fairly similar to a longstanding issue with Google Drive that allows anyone to share malicious or unwanted files to any Google Account. As the spammers are not giving the tagged email addresses the appropriate access to leave comments of their own, each spam email contains the phrase “you do not have commenting rights.” Should these emails become persistent, there’s actually an easy way to filter out these spam comments without affecting most incoming emails related to Google Docs and other Workspace apps, posted by Shulin Ye in the Gmail Help forum. Otherwise, simply delete and disregard the email. If you’ve received one of these emails, the most important thing is that you do not click on the attached link, as it redirects to a malicious destination that will likely attempt to steal your account information. Judging from multiple reports this month, and the fact that multiple members of the 9to5Google team received similar spam messages in the last few days, it seems that the spammers’ efforts may be ramping up. It seems that sometime this year - the earliest report we could find is from August - spammers realized that they could use Google Docs/Slides/etc comments to send any message to nearly any email address, and that the emails will come from a trusted sender, Google. In these comments, you can also use followed by an email address to tag someone who you think needs to see that particular comment or portion of the Google Doc. When working on a document in Google Docs, Slides, or any other Google Workspace app, you can add comments to suggest changes or simply act as footnotes. It’s perfect if you are thinking about zero waste homeschooling, or limiting your waste.Have you received an email about a new comment in a Google Docs or other Google Workspace file you don’t recognize? Do not click the included link, as it’s likely part of a new source of spam emails that are abusing comments in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.
Using Google Drive in your homeschool can help you to cut down on paper waste, and from papers getting “lost”, or for the need of finding lost pencils. Right-click on the folder and you will see need the bottom where you can change the colors. If you color coordinate things, this is for you. I have been changing the color on my folders to make it a little easier to pick out the one I am looking for. You can create files, and then files within your files to make it easier to keep track of everything, no more scrolling and searching for a file. Create Folders for Easy Filing/Organizing

I do not have Apple products, but I did look it up and from what I read, you can use Google Drive on your iPad just the same as other devices, you just have to download it. This is great for working with students and others. You can give them permission to make changes to the document you are sharing with them as well, and you’ll be able to see the changes they make. As long as the person you are trying to share with has a Gmail account (email) then you can share with them. It is super easy to share documents in Drive. This means I’m not going to forget to add something important by trying to remember it later or using my limited data.Īll About Arctic Animals – 11 Different Animals – Google Slide Presentation Shared Work with Google Drive

I can be anywhere and update our periodic log, even sitting outside at an event without wifi or turning my data on.
The best part is that you do not need to be online to use it. As mentioned in a previous post, all you need to be able to use Google Drive is a Gmail account, which is free. This allows me to keep track no matter where we are.

And the great thing about it is, that you can access it from anywhere! Google Drive for Homeschool I also used it to keep track of what I liked or didn’t like about curriculum we were using so I could remember or not I want to use it again in the future.
