Google Drive - oy

I have a ton of photos (jpgs) I need to download and I want to put them in Google drive.

I set up a specific folder for the photos but when I drag and drop, no data goes with it.

I’ve googled for answers and apparently I’m doing it right, but clearly I’m not.

Any clues?

TIA ;)

Google Drive is a website. Are they on your computer or in your camera? Don't you want to upload them?

When you say no data goes with it, do you mean the jpeg doesn't save or some attribute doesn't move with it?

Can you "save as" to a different folder on your computer that keeps all your info?

On my computer. I want to load them into Google drive. The file loads, but at 0 kb.

It saves, but with zero data. The 1.1mg file ends up being 0 kb after it goes to google drive.

I can save to a different folder on my computer, but I need them on google drive to share & collaborate.

If you set up a folder for pictures, I think it has to be in
>This PC>Pictures
Or else it won't work.
