Note, only those who have permissions to view the folder will be able to see the contents regardless if they have the link.īy default the folder is private. Use this link to let others access the folder. Share OptionsĪt the top of the sharing settings is the link to the folder. This is VERY helpful for keeping teams motivated when working on a project. An email will be generated to everyone the folder is shared with along with a link back to the folder. This is a very handy tool to send out a notification to the people on your team without having to remember who is on your team and what their email addresses are.
Notice the option to “Email collaborators…” from the options menu. Select the arrow to reveal a menu of options, including “Share.” Choose “Share…” a second time to indicate who you want to share with. Instead of the checkbox method you are able to either right click on the folder or when you hover over the folder in the file structure an arrow appears at the end. Clicking on “My Drive” will open up the folders in your Drive. The file structure is found on the left side of Google Drive. After checking the checkbox notice icons appear above the document list. Click on the checkbox to the left of the folder icon. In your document list you should be able to locate the folder you just created.
Create a Folder in Google DriveĬlick on the “CREATE” button in Google Drive to choose to create a folder. If you are sharing a collection of documents with others though, folders are the way to go. The search box at the top of drive searches not only the document title but also the body of the document (and does an OCR scan to search the images also!). One might argue you do not need folders if you use Google Drive.
