Why should I use a Google Shared Drive?
- Collaboration – SJU Google Shared Drive offers a familiar space for file storage with a folder structure specific to your team or project
- Reliability – Files stored in a SJU Google Shared Drive are owned by the Shared Drive, not an individual. When an individual departs from SJU, those files will still be accessible by the team.
- Unlimited Storage – SJU Google Shared Drives have unlimited storage space

How should I name my Google Shared Drive?
SJU Information Technology has provided the following guidelines for naming your Google Shared Drive.
Since shared drives are not automatically associated with a department, college, or group, we recommend that you adopt a naming convention that includes a unit identifier. For example:
- Advancement_Share
- ITBudgets_Share
- CAS_Admins
How do I access my Google Shared Drive?
