Also, what are the best ways to organize documents and manage storage space? I’d appreciate some simple tips or guidance for beginners to get the most out of Google Drive.

It’s basically your online storage in Google Drive, just upload files with the “New” button, keep them in folders, and share by clicking “Share” and adding emails or links; I usually organize mine by project folders and clear out junk or use Google Photos for big files to save space
