Saving files:

 * ==== For the first time you save a file- in whatever application you are working in, go to "file" > "save as." If your save window is only a two field window click the drop down arrow on the right to reveal the path that your file is taking. ====
 * Remember every save window has a finder built into it! So scroll down on the list of places on the left hand side until you find the spot you wish to save your file in.Then select that place, and select any sub folders you wish to place it in, name it and click save.
 * //** Best practices- save initially to your computer aka the desktop or documents or a folder you create in either of those places, then copy that file or entire folder to your g-drive. It is best to first save to the machine locally first, incase your connection is interrupted and your file is not saved properly. It is also best to then copy your files to the g-drive incase the machine should fail and so your work will be maintained once your laptop is re-imaged at the end of the school year. **//
