I've been trying to find out how much Dropbox costs, but I can't find a price list or anything.
Online storage advice appreciated.

free - about the same as dropbox - very other people might have more specific details, but I think that just about covers it  |

I've downloaded Google Drive to my laptop. Three folders have appeared, Google Sheets, Google slides, Google Docs.
Now what do I do?

Aren't they your drive folders? I assume you put files in them and they are the ones that you can access from anywhere.

Isn't there also a folder called just "Google Drive"?
That's what I have - anything put in there gets synched to the drive, although to be honest I normally just go online and upload whatever I want on there rather than doing it this way

It doesn't seem so. The Google Docs folder seems to be a program for creating documents, not storing them. At least I can't see an intuitive way of getting say, a picture into it. I would have thought that perhaps I could left-click on an item and send it to Google Drive. |

Can you log into Google drive online? https://drive.google.comLike I said - this is the option I use, and I think it's pretty intuitive once you're logged in. |

No. I don't have a Google Drive folder, but I have found the program in my program files and created a shortcut. When I open that it looks like a folder. Do I create new folders within Drive to organize things? |

Making (slow) progress.
It looks like files have to be uploaded individually rather than in folders.

I use dropbox free and get 5Gb of storage. Used this for about 5 years or so with no hassle and you can upload multiple files in one go.
