like a second home for Google Drive

I sometimes dream of a second home. I picture myself sitting on the porch listening to the mellow waves of Lake Michigan lulling me to sleep.

Having two homes would be awesome for many reasons.

Did you know your files and folders in Google Drive can also have two homes?

Check out how easy it is, just by hitting SHIFT + Z on your keyboard. I needed the Breakout EDU folder to remain in my 2017-2018 folder and be in the 2018-2019 folder at the same time. Any changes made inside the folder will appear instantly in both locations.

1. Find the folder/file you need in two places, click on it. Click the SHIFT + Z keys. You should see this dropdown appear.

2. Find and click on where you want the folder/file to also appear.

3. Click add.
