Creating Contact Lists for Gmail/Drive

Creating Contact Groups can allow you to quickly and easily share Google Drive files with groups of students or colleagues.  So many of us are now using Google Drive with our students as well as colleagues.  The principals are using it regularly to send out information to staff.  Many district groups you would need are already built in through our email system, however if you would like to build a class or other list here is how to do it:   



Step 1: Open your mail, place your cursor over "Mail" and choose "contacts" from the drop-down menu.

Step 2: Click the "add contact" icon.

Step 3: Select at least one contact name to reveal and open the "contacts group" icon.

Step 4: Name your new contacts group.

Step 5: Your new group is now created. You can add more names by simply selecting them from your contacts list and assigning them to your new group. Contacts can be members of more than one group.

Step 6:  Now when you open the sharing menu on a Google Document you can type the name of a contact group rather than entering emails individually.
