Unlike files in My Drive, files in a shared 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.
Common uses for shared drives:
- Projects—For people involved in the same project.
- Events—For people working for a defined period on a specific event or deliverable.
- Templates—For files that people can copy and reuse.
- Company-wide files—For files everyone needs access to, such as training files.
- Sensitive files—For highly sensitive files, where you can add extra security to limit access.
