  • TRIPLE-check to make sure Notability is backing up to Drive.Open up Drive [either by calling up the app on your ipad, or by surfing to drive.google.com and logging in on any internet enabled device]. Look inside the folder named Notability – make sure your most recent stuff is there.

  • Transfer any pix or movies that you want to keep from your iPad to Drive. CLICK HERE and read step 2 for details.

  3. Make sure your Google Drive App is setup –> Fire it up, and login if it asks you to.
  4. If you’ve never backed up your pictures:Create a new folder. Call it “2014 pix” – or whatever you like. Open it up.
  5. If you HAVE backed them up before: open up the folder you used before.
  6. See the big plus sign in the upper right corner? Click it.
  7. Click “Upload Photos or Videos”
  8. Click “Camera Roll”
  9. Click 4 or 5 rows of pictures/videos – you should see a blue checkmark show up on the picture icon.
    [If you do too many – say, 100 pictures – it will take much longer and might crash]
  10. THEN click the bigger blue checkmark at the top right corner.
  11. You should see a message {1 of 5 files uploading} show up at the bottom of the screen.
