Shared Drives

Shared Drives are a type of Google Drive, where you can store and share files, including documents, videos, images and more. Shared Drives were created for a team to work together, and the files in a team drive do not belong to any one person. Instead, the "owner" of those files is the school district. The benefit of this is that the files in that drive will stay with the team, even if a team member leaves. For example, if a teacher retires, the documents that person made will still be accessible in Shared Drives, because the work belongs to the team as a whole.

In the Monroe School District, all employees can see Shared Drives and can be apart of a Shared Drive. However, only network administrators are able to create a new Shared Drive.
