Where did my files go?

[Garyk1]

I am job hunting, so I saved a copy of my current resume to my chrome book using the file app to the download folder. I also saved a copy to my documents folder on my Google drive. When I was done saving I see them and click them they open, no problwm.

Now I get a job listing i want to apply to, and when I click on select file to send my resume they are not there!!! Why cant I see them? If I go back to the desktop there they are taunting me right where I left them. I just cant figure a way to up load them to the application. Help me please!

Hi, GaryK. I suspect your email app is just pointing to a different location than where your files are at.  You need to browse to find them. When you click on "select file" to send your resume, check and see where it is looking for the file. Usually up a level, is your desktop. Google drive will probably also be up level.

This is what shows on my computer and it is similar to most computers:

This is on the left side. Choose Documents or downloads, and a list of what is in there will show. Sometimes othere folders are inside folders.

Another way is to search for the file. If you know the name of the file, at the top of the screen there is usually a magnifying glass or a box where you can tyoe in the name and start a search.

Finally, you can sometimes copy and paste the document into the email. Go to where you can see the document on your desktop (or documents folder) and copy it (do a right click on the file  & choose COPY, or do CTRL-C)  then go to the email or web page where you want the document to be placed/inserted and do a paste (right click, paste or CNTR-V)

Good luck to you!
