Omg, as a teacher I often find images with text I want to put in my lesson materials, so I print the image and then retype all the text into a document. NOW, with the grab text feature, I can save tons of time when lesson planning! Gracias!

I did a screenshot, copied it to Google docs. I need that screenshot and tried using your method to extract for that screenshot text. In this case it was not possible to right click on the copied screenshot to put it in docs. That sounds like- you can fool me once not twice. Is that so?

Great tips. On my French Canadian keyboard, the ? is "Shift 6" and this does not bring up the keyboard shortcuts. However Ctr+/ does bring up the keyboard shortcuts.

With the updated version trick, does the storage count both versions of the video or just the latest version? [For example, the first video was 20 mb. The second version is 25 mb. Will the storage count for this file be 25 mb or 45 mb?]

Point at ""05:19 Manage version history of Drive files"" - If I plan to share a single file with someone, I share a the folder that will have only that file. This way... forget about the version, I can even change the type of the file say from doc to pdf or excel. Do you think, this is a correct strategy ?

Wait, you added the emoji, but how did you get the emoji menu to pop up? I watched that part twice but did I miss something?

I wondered the same thing. A previous commenter suggested holding down the Windows key then pressing the period key. (Now that I told you, hopefully I will remember so I can try it myself!)

You forgot / skipped #1 - You can save me a heckuva ton of time by eliminating these pre-roll ads that no one wants. Yes, I can but a Premium Subscription, I know. But it's not just here - these pre-rolls are everywhere and they absolutely take up my time.
