Why use Shared drives

Storing files in a Shared drive, instead of in your personal My Drive, provides a variety of benefits, including:

• If you are working with a group of people and want to share and collaborate on document(s), you can create a Shared drive. By granting access permission to the team members, everyone on your team can collaborate on the document(s) without requiring you to individually invite each person to ‘share’ each document.
• Documents stored in a Shared drive persist for the team’s use, even if one of the team members leaves the project or the organization.
• If a person joins your project team or work group, you can quickly give them access to all shared documents by making them a member of the Shared drive, rather than having to grant access to every individual document they need.
