Create a Shared Drive

TRY IT OUT

In Google Workspace, a Shared Drive is a shared space where teams can store their files. Users can be added to a Shared Drive individually, or via Google Groups - when a new user is added, they will have instant access to the folders of the Shared Drive. When a file is added to a Shared Drive, the ownership of the file is controlled by the Shared Drive - if the person that added the file leaves the company, the file won’t be lost.

To create a new Shared Drive:

On the Drive home page, click on Shared drives on the left-hand side of the screen
Click on the New button

Enter a name for the new Shared Drive
Click on Create

A new, blank Share Drive will be created that you can start to add content and users to as required.
