Google Photos is a great place to store photos. It offers unlimited storage. By using the extension "Clip it Good" your photos are automatically added to Google Photos. Before, when you came across a great picture on a website, you had to save the image to my computer first, then upload it to Photos. With "Clip It Good" that is no longer an issue.

• You simply right-click on an image and choose "Clip It Good" to save it directly to Google Photos.
• In the options, you can set up which Photo albums you can save to.
• The albums you choose will be available in the menu when you go to save any image.

Although we work almost entirely inside of the Google suite of tools, there are times when you need to edit a Microsoft Office file. Usually, you would just convert the file into Google format, but sometimes the conversion does not preserve the file properly. Likewise, you may have lots of such Microsoft files from years of teaching. When converting does not work, what can you do? One option (among many) is the "AwesomeDrive" extension which lets you save the file in Drive but open and edit in Office.

• Store your Microsoft Office files in your Google Drive as normal.
• With the "AwesomeDrive" extension installed, hover above any Microsoft file in your Drive and click the Office icon that appears next to its title.
• This will now open the file in your own local copy of Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.
• You can now edit the file as needed in Office.
• When done, click the normal save option in Office and the updated file will be saved back to your Google Drive.
