From the menu that appears, choose Upload.
Choose the File:
Navigate to the file you want to upload from your phone’s storage (e.g., Photos, Downloads, or another folder).
Tap on the file to select it.
Wait for the Upload to Complete:
The file will begin uploading to the shared folder. You’ll see a progress indicator.
Step 3: Verify the Upload

You can open the shared folder to confirm that the file has been uploaded successfully.
Alternative Method: Using the Files App
Open your phone’s Files app (or any file manager).
Locate the file you want to upload.
Tap and hold the file, then select Share or Send.
Choose Save to Drive from the sharing options.
Select the shared folder as the destination and tap Save.
Tips:

If the shared folder doesn’t appear in your Drive, ask the owner to share it with you again.
You can also use the Google Drive website on your phone’s browser if the app isn’t working.
