Next time you come back to Google Drive, just go straight the Starred Section and tap the Ukes ‘n’ More Songs folder.

Sub folders underneath the Ukes ‘n’ More Songs repository:

• Current-Songs: All the songs we regularly play are here
• Books: Full Book PDFs
• Setlists: For each night we’ll create a setlist folder with the date of the Ukes night as the folder name. The folder will have just the songs we are playing for that night, in the order we are playing them. This makes it a lot easier to find just the files you are after on the night. In Google Drive once you open the first file and display that PDF, you can then swipe left and right to go to the next (or previous) song. Setlist folders are usually available 2-3 days before the Ukes night.
• Archive: Older songs
• Unofficial: Songs we’ve done at some point and may introduce (eg for special nights)

Important! How to make sure you can access the songs while at UkesNMore:

• If you will have internet access on your tablet/phone on this night there’s nothing more to do, you’ll be able to access files in any of the sub folders under Ukes ‘n’ More Songs. (Note: while there is WiFi access available in the hall, if possible we prefer that you provide your own so that we don’t overload the WiFi and affect our livestream. For tablets that don’t have built in 4G/5G, it is usually straightforward to ‘tether’ the tablet to your phone and use its 4G/5G connection – for instructions just google “make your phone a hotspot”.)
• If you don’t have internet access, you can effectively ‘download’ the files you want to access on the night. You’ll need to do this beforehand while you are connected to the internet. To do this:
  • Go into the folder – for example “Current-Songs” or one if the playlist folders for the date you are after.
  • Select the songs you want. First, long press a file to go into selection mode. Then tap the other files you want. Or, to Select All files in the current folder, tap the icon that looks like a square surrounded by dots: .
  • Once the files are selected, tap the ellisis (looks like three dots) icon at the top of the screen.
  • Tap Make available offline
  • The files will be downloaded, and a small tick icon will appear next to the file(s) indicating it is available offline.
  • A gotcha is that if you select multiple files and some are available offline (tick) and some aren’t (no tick), the
    Make available offline option won’t be available. So if we add new files just select the ones without the tick first, or do one by one.
  • Test by disconnecting your tablet from the internet, and then go back in and try to access one of the PDFs.

If you need help please ask Macca or one of the Ukes team. Just bear in mind we can be busy setting everything up before the night commences, so afterwards would be preferred.
