Guide: Add Google Sheet to a Folder: Tips and Tutorial

Organizing your Google Sheets can make a big difference in efficiency and productivity.

Organizing your Google Drive files into folders can help you work more efficiently. Taking the time to do so now will ensure fast access to your files and streamline your workflow.

Adding a Google spreadsheet to a folder is easy. This article will show you how to do it in just a few steps.

Step 1: Create a Google Drive folder

Google Drive allows users to easily organize their files with folders, just like on a hard drive. The navigation experience is virtually the same.

To create a Google Drive folder, simply open the app and click the ‘New’ button in the top left corner. Select ‘Folder’ from the drop-down menu and name it. Your new folder will appear in your Drive, ready to be filled with files.

To locate your folder, look for it in the ‘My Drive’ section of the left sidebar. If it’s not visible, click the black arrow to expand the menu.

You can locate your folder in the “Folders” section of the “Quick Access” dashboard.

Step 2: Move files to folder

It’s time to transfer the files to their new home: the folder you’ve prepared.

To ensure your spreadsheets are easily accessible, add them to your Google Drive database. This will allow you to quickly locate them using the search bar in Drive above the Quick Access dashboard.

Simply search for the spreadsheet you need and it will appear.

Hovering over the search bar in Google Drive reveals the “Sheets” option, allowing users to quickly access all their Google Sheets.

Simply drag the desired sheet to the new folder and it will appear.

Adding multiple files is easy. To do so, display the spreadsheets in your Quick Access bar and select them one by one.

Users can now access all files in a single folder at once.

Move file from folder to folder

To transfer a sheet from one folder to another, the same process must be followed.

Step 3: Delete file from a folder

Deleting a file is easy: simply move it to the trash can and then delete it permanently. Follow these steps for successful removal.

All files in the folder will be permanently erased.

You can delete individual files from a folder by selecting them and clicking the ‘Delete’ button.

Can I add sheets from other users to folders?

Users of Quick Access can view all the sheets they have access to, though they may not own them all. But is it possible to move these sheets to another folder?

Yes and no are both valid answers.

You can organize and access data more easily by moving another owner’s sheet to a separate folder, creating a shortcut.

The file is not physically relocated, but remains in its original location.
