Decent reference, questionable durability.
Very basic stuff. I was hoping it had a third fold with function references and a better quality of lamination ( this is a coated paper print ). Hopefully the authors will add more info, as I like having these types of quick references handy for the more obscure functions. I'm biased towards 4 stars for this one due to the good coverage of most features. Still, It needs a section on function arrangement and perhaps a quick reference on the relativistic behaviour when pasting functions from existing cells.

Google Drive Simplified For Beginners
New technology is great for those that had an early start from childhood on computers & cell phones as well as tablets. I am an old tech guy that uses still a flip phone (hate phones smarter than me) basic & slightly advance computer skills. This Google Drive cheat sheet puts you into the new tech age with simple instructions. Highly recommend it to novice chromebook users

Excellent Resource
This is an excellent resource to have for quick reminders of how to get things done. If I do not use Google Drive for a few days, I tend to forget some shortcuts. This reference gives me a quick and very helpful reminder of the process. It is very well designed and well-worth the price.

Great reference guide to get your Google Drive projects up and running
Really useful quick reference guide for using Google Drive. After reading the basic start-up instructions on the Google site, I found I still needed some additional information to make using their features easy. This guide provided the information I needed. The list of keyboard shortcuts was especially helpful. And it comes punch-hole cut so it could be inserted into a 3-ring binder.
