Google Shared Drive - How to Create a Google Shared Drive

Overview

Google Shared Drives allow files and folders to be shared and owned by multiple people or even an entire Google Group. When a member of the Shared or Google Group leaves the drive or group, the files that were created or moved into the Google Shared Drive will persist after they have left.

Texas A&M Google Shared Drives have a 25GB storage limit.

Instructions

To create a Google Shared drive:

  1. Go to https://drive.google.com/drive/my-drive and make sure you are logged in with your Texas A&M Google Account.
  2. On the left side of the windows, click on Shared Drives. This should be located below My Drive.
  3. Click the New button in the upper left corner of the page. In the pop-up window, name your Shared Drive.

Once created, you can add members to your new drive.
