Add Links to Documents

In this video, you will upload a document to Google Drive and then insert a link to the document in your spreadsheet so you can easily access it later when you complete your FAFSA.

Inserting links enables you to access a resource with just one click.

This way, you don't have to continuously search for or ask others to find what you need.

To begin, open a new tab in your browser.

Open your Google Drive.

Keep both tabs open while you complete this task.

Next, upload a document from your computer to your Drive.

Then, once the document is uploaded, copy the document's URL address.

Now, return to your spreadsheet, and use the keyboard shortcut "Control V" or "Command V" to paste the link into the cell in the "Links" column for that document.

Then clip the URL, so it fits in the cell.

Now, it's your turn: go to Google Drive, upload a document from your computer, copy the document's URL address link, insert the link in the Links column of the document, and clip the URL to make it fit in the cell.
