Technical Support - Basic Troubleshooting
Restart the device - Always a good first move. Fixes a remarkable number of things as it resets most software/hardware.
Confirm they are logged in with the correct account - some students are able to see a document/file but not open it because they are connected with their personal gmail account.
Uninstall Google Drive or other app and Reinstall the app (iPad especially and any other apps too) - this has resolved issues for a LARGE number of students today.
Switch to using a browser - using a browser instead of the app can clear up if it is a cache issue.
Student home network issues - many times, the student's home network or device is just not strong enough to accomplish certain tasks. If none of the above work, please have them send in a help desk ticket at helpdesk@silverdaleba.org
