Navigate to the Google Drive folder that contains your files.

Click on the first file. While holding down shift, continue clicking any additional files you want to select.

You can select as many files or folders as you need with this method, as long as they are all next to each other.

An alternative method is the "click and drag." To do this, simply select a blank area next to the files you want to select, and drag your cursor over multiple files. They will be highlighted, showing that they are currently selected.
