1) Record your sound as a voice note

• Open your phone’s Voice Recorder app (sometimes called Sound Recorder).
• Tap the record button.
• Record your sound (try to keep the phone fairly still and close to the sound source).
• Tap stop when finished.
• Rename the recording to something useful (usually via a three-dot menu or edit option).

2) Make sure the file is saved to your phone

This step ensures the file can be uploaded easily.

• In the Voice Recorder app, locate your saved recording.
• If prompted, ensure it’s saved to your device storage (e.g. Internal storage or Recordings folder).
• You can check this using the Files or My Files app.

3) Upload the voice note to Google Drive

• Open the Google Drive folder link on your phone (Chrome works well):

• Tap the + (Add) button.
• Select Upload.
• Choose Files.
• Navigate to where your recording is saved (e.g. Recordings).
• Select the voice note(s).
