  2. Add three subfolders inside it: Clients, Internal Docs, Projects
  3. Upload at least 2 files (can be documents, PDFs, or images)
  4. Rename each file using a professional naming format: Date_Description (e.g., 2024-01_ClientNotes)
  5. Share the "Clients" subfolder with your instructor (view access)
