Make a Copy of a Drive File

Making a copy of a Drive file allows users to store them for purposes such as creating templets and documentation. Since a copy of the shared file is only a duplicate of the original file, changes made to the copy will not apply to the original file. Follow the instructions below to create a copy of a Drive file. 

1. Right click on the file you want to copy in My Drive. A context menu will appear.
2. Click on Make a copy.A copy of the file will be created in My Drive titled Copy of (title of original file).
3. By default, the copied version will be saved in the same folder as the original file.
