Sharing & Updating Files in Google Drive

Google Drive is a great place for storing and sharing files online. Not only can you create doc, sheet, and presentation files, you can also share other file types. One problem I always ran into when sharing files on Google Drive was that when I wanted to create a revision of a non-Drive file type, like a PDF or image file, I had to upload a new file and share the new link. There is, however, a way to update your files to a new version. This has been available in Google for some time, but I only discovered it recently. This was very exciting for me, especially since you can redirect a QR code or short link to a Google Drive document, then go back and update the document with pretty much anything you want: think class syllabus, assignment, word of the day, daily image, etc. Here is a short how to video to get you started: https://youtu.be/Yv_501XnwrI
