Get files FROM Drive TO Notability

Normally you set Notability to automatically backup your docs to Drive. Sometimes you need to reverse that process – pull some material from Drive into Notability.

FIRST:

  • Get your Dividers and Subjects setup in Notability
  • Select a location[folder]  in Notability.
    THEN select what to import. Drive is organized just like notability was – if you had folders/dividers in Notability, then you will see folders in Drive, inside the Notability folder.
    Your Notability selection is WHERE the files will be imported to.
  • You will need to do this for each folder/divider you set up.

Once you get Notability setup:

  • Open up Notability
  • Click the icon, top right, that looks like a square with an arrow going INTO it
  • Select Google Drive
  • It should automatically show you the Notability folder on your Drive.
  • Select what you’d like to import.
REMEMBER THAT Folders on Drive = “Subjects” in Notability.

 

The import icon is the middle one.
The import icon is the middle one.

 

Getting ready for the First Official iPad Hospital Day

Tuesday 8/23/16 we will be holding the

First Official Upper School
iPad Hospital Day
.

At a designated time [AND NOT BEFORE!] you can drop off your iPad overnight. The Emergency Room team will do their best to get your iPad Apps straightened out by Wednesday morning. Watch WMDS for details.

To get your iPad ready, here are some things you MIGHT want to do so you won’t lose any data:

  • If you have the Drive app, use it to upload any pictures you want to keep. If you do NOT have the Drive app, email them to yourself.
  • If you have Notability, make sure Drive Autobackup is turned on.
    • Front screen –> Settings [gear icon on bottom left]
      Autobackup –> Google Drive
      Login, and allow.

IT WILL TAKE ABOUT
5 MINUTES
TO DROP OFF
YOUR IPAD.
