How to create a folder in Google Docs

Before we get into the steps, it’s important to note that folders are exclusive to your Google Drive account. When you create a folder in Google Docs, it will be located within Google Drive.

Alternatively, if you’re signed into Google Drive, you can click on the New icon at the top-left corner of the screen and choose New Folder.

Step 1: Open a new document or an existing one in Google Docs.

Step 2: Next to the document title, you will see a small folder icon labeled Move when you hover over it. Click on that icon.

Step 3: Click on the New Folder button at the bottom of the window.

Step 4: The title Untitled Folder will be automatically entered and highlighted. Give your folder an appropriate name.

Step 5: Click the blue tick icon next to the title field.

Step 6: Select the Move Here button.

Once you have created a folder in Google Docs, accessing it is easy. You don’t need to switch between Google Drive and Docs.

Step 1: Go to the main home page of Google Docs where all your documents are listed. Next to the Grid View and Sort Options menus, click on Open File Picker.

Step 2: Google Docs will display all the folders in your Google Drive account. Select the folder where you saved your document by double-clicking it or using the Open option.

You will see the files you moved to the folder. Double-click on the document to open it in Google Docs.

There is no limit to the number of folders you can create in Google Docs, but your storage space is limited. Every new Google user gets 15GB of cloud storage shared across Gmail, Drive, and Photos.
