Use a Google Shared Drive!
Google Share Drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.
Unlike files in My Drive, files in Share Drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.
**This is especially important when working with a student employee or Graduate Assistant for projects or research.**
Why would I create a Google Shared Drive?
Considerations
|
Shared Drive
|
My Drive
|
| Does the document need to live beyond your time on the research project, team or committee? |
|
|
| Is this document central to your project, team or committee? |
|
|
| Is there personal or sensitive information that shouldn’t be visible to a larger audience? |
|
|
| Is the file only for a single user? |
