Give School Sounds permission to work with its files. You are now ready to use the cloud.

Your Cloud Choices

Google Drive

Why Use the Cloud?

Quick Save: update the same cloud project with Save or Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac).
Auto-save: after the first cloud save, the green Auto-save icon shows that changes are being saved periodically.
Open anywhere: pick up your project on a different computer or tablet.
Never lose it: no more worrying about forgetting to bring your file.

Handy Tips!

• Ask a grown-up: If you are not sure which account to use, ask your teacher or a parent.

Staying Safe
