How to create documents in Drive

Creating a document in Drive
Go to Google Drive:
Click on the blue “New” button on the upper-left corner:
A drop-down menu will appear. Click on “Google Docs”, “Google Sheets”, or “Google Slides”, depending on what type of file you are trying to create.
If you are looking to create a form, hold your cursor over “More” and select “Google Forms”.
When you create a new document in Google Drive with this method, it will be created in whatever folder you are currently viewing. It will also have the same sharing settings as the folder it is in. In other words, if the folder is shared with someone, any documents you create inside that folder will also be shared with that person.
Make a copy of a file
To make a copy of a file, right-click on the file and select “Make a copy”
A new file called “Copy of [Original File]” will be created in the same folder.
You can also create a copy of a file from within the editing interface by going to “File” → “Make a copy...”
A new box will pop up saying “Copy Document” and allow you to rename the new document copy and where to move the file to.
For instructions on how to move the file, that is covered here.
