Organizing Files, Folders and Documents in Google Drive
Organizing files and folders in Google Drive works sightly differently than when using Microsoft Office. In Microsoft Office, the user creates and edits documents within the Office Suite, document organization however, is done at the computer operating system and users generally organize their files on a folder located on their computer.
File organization in Google Drive and Google Docs takes place in the same web interface that document creation and editing takes place. Although many traditional document storage ideologies still exist in Google Drive, the actual implementation is a bit different and this tutorial walks users through all of the different options when organizing and managing documents in the 2013 Google Drive interface.
I do not work for Google, nor was a compensated for the production of this video series. I am simply a Google Docs user (both personally and professionally) that would like to share my knowledge and insight with others to help provide a more seamless transition to Google Drive.

Four excellent presentations. I knew nothing about Google Drive an hour or so ago, and I now feel that I have the confidence to start. I even found myself laughing alone at some of the amazing features you explained. Thank you
My operations manager need to be able to sync files like I do.
He just needs to sync so he can down load a lot of files at once. He does not need to make changes to the files.
Pretty much I upload master files and he needs to be able to download them as easy as I upload them by drag and drop.
Is there a way to do this and not use the email way of downloading? OR
Do I just let him log into my account and download only?
Thanks

Roger,
I would just create a folder to upload all of the files to, create a Google Account for your manager and share the folder with his account. Then he can log into his own account, access the shared folder and view all of the files that you have uploaded. I hope that helps!
THANKS! YOU ROCK!
