What tools make your life easier while operating in Google Docs?
It also works from the My Drive view ... the folder icon appears when you select a document (by checking it's box).

But wait ... there's more! happy You can also drag the selected item/s to a folder, listed at the left side of the screen...

Hope it helps...

Huh?

People use Google Docs? Not by the reaction to this blog.

Useful article David - thanks.

One question on sharing (point 5). You state:

"Another useful sharing tip comes with the ability to generate a unique URL for your document. This is particularly useful if you wish to share the document with a large number of collaborators without making the document public. Creating the unique URL eliminates the need for individually entering in collaborators??? email address in the sharing settings box"

I presume you mean setting the sharing to "Anyone with the link". However, I thought that this was effectively making the document public, but just not publishing the URL (so it won't show up in Google's search engine). Security by obscurity. Is that correct, or am I missing something?

Thanks
Thanks for your question and sorry for the confusion. I was referring to "public" in the document list, however you are right, the item is effectively public, though not searchable.
