Shared Drives
What This Does
Shared Drives (Workspace) are team folders where files belong to the group. When someone leaves, files stay.
Why It's Useful
Files in someone's My Drive become orphaned or lost when they leave. Shared Drives are the correct home for team assets.
How to Do It
- Drive → Shared drives → New
- Add members with appropriate roles: Manager, Contributor, Viewer
- Move existing team files from My Drive into the Shared Drive
- Use consistent naming: ClientName-Project-Assets
Try This Now
Create or open a Shared Drive and add one file to it.
Mental Hook: Team owns the file, not one person.
