Google Drive is a really helpful cloud storage solution that makes it easy to put your files someplace that makes them accessible from multiple computers. If you have been using Google Drive and its corresponding apps like Docs, Sheets, and Slides, then you likely already have some files in Google Drive that were created by those applications. But it’s possible for you to upload other files to Google Drive, too, such as .csv files that contain data you wish to evaluate or edit. Our tutorial below will walk you through the process of getting a .csv file from your computer to Google Drive so that you can access it from any place with Internet access. We also provide a link at the end of the article that shows you how to change a Google Drive setting so that the .csv file is automatically converted to a compatible format with Google Sheets. The steps in this article were performed in the desktop version of the Google Chrome browser, but will work in other browsers like Firefox or Edge as well. This guide assumes that you currently have a .csv file that you would like to place in your Google Drive storage. The next section provides a quicker, more simplified version of CSV file upload to Google Drive process. You can read our Google Drive sign in guide if you nee to know how to get into your account.
