  • Ensure any actions related to Google Drive are clear to the user by beginning actions with verb phrases, such as "Save to" or "Backup to."

  • When using the Google Drive icon as a button, provide a tooltip indicating the action the button performs with Google Drive. For example, a button designed to save files to Google Drive should have the tooltip of "Save to Google Drive." Other than the tool tip, don't alter the Google Drive logo in any way.

  • Don't abbreviate the term "Google Drive."
