Google Drive

As faculty you may want to use Google Drive to share items with colleagues, students or other STCC campus members. You can share the files and folders that you store in Google Drive with anyone in your work or school account, anyone@stcc.edu. However your organization may limit how you can share files with other people [outside the STCC campus].

When you share from Google Drive, you can control whether people can edit, comment on, or only view the file.

Instructional Advice

Always double check [and if necessary test] your Sharing settings.
