Open your web browser: Launch Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, 

Go to Google Drive: Type "drive.google.com" in the address bar and hit Enter.

Sign in to your Google account: If you are not already signed in, enter your Google account credentials to log in.

Create a new folder (optional): If you want to organize your backup files in a specific folder, you can create one by clicking the "New" button on the left-hand side and selecting "Folder." Give it a name and press "Create."

Upload files: Now, you can start uploading your files to Google Drive. There are a couple of ways to do this

•  Drag and drop: Open the folder on your Mac that contains the files you want to back up. Select the files you want to upload and drag them over to the Google Drive window. Drop them inside the desired folder (or the root of Google Drive if you're not using a specific folder)

• Use the upload button: In Google Drive, click on the "+ New" button on the left-hand side and select "File upload." Browse your Mac to find the files you want to backup, select them, and click "Open" to start the upload.

Monitor the upload progress: Google Drive will display a progress bar for each file being uploaded. The time it takes to complete the upload will depend on the size of the files and your internet connection speed.
