Google Shared Drives (Team Drives)

You can use Shared drives in Google Drive to store, search, and access files with a team. Shared drive files belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay in place so your team can keep sharing information and work anywhere, from any device.

Share your files with your team so no one loses access when there are staffing changes or when a person's account is disabled at the time of leaving WHPS.

• Every person and Google Group added to a Shared Drive gets instant access to that team's documents
• Designed to store the team's work collectively, so if a document's creator moves off of the team that document doesn't go with them
• Team members prevented from accidentally removing or deleting files that others need
• WHPS owns the files in a shared drive, not an individual. When an employee leaves and an admin deletes their account, their files remain in shared drives.
  
• All members of a shared drive see the same content.
