Embedded Files
Here you will find tips and tricks for using Google Suite for Education tools.
Google Drive: Shared with Me vs. Shared Drives
These are NOT the same.
Shared with Me
Files others share with you
Not stored in your Drive
Easy to lose track of
Shared Drives
Owned by the team
Files stay even if someone leaves
Best for campuses and departments
Pro Tip: If you need a file later, add it from Shared with Me into a folder right away.
To upload to a shared Google Drive
Log in to drive.google.com, click "Shared drives" on the left, open the specific drive, and click "+ New" to select files or folders. Alternatively, you can drag and drop files directly into the shared folder window. Ensure you have "Contributor" or "Content Manager" access.
Methods to Upload
Drag and Drop: Drag files or folders from your computer directly into the browser window of the shared drive.
"+ New" Button: Inside the shared drive, click New > File upload or Folder upload.
Create Google Contact Lists
