Google Shared Drives are a great way for departments and project teams to create, store, and search files. You can belong to multiple Shared Drives, and they are available wherever you access your My Drive.
In Shared Drives, you don't have to worry about who owns the files because the team owns the files, not individuals. And if a member leaves the team, the files stay in the Shared Drive.
Note: Shared Drives cannot have Google Forms with file upload questions
To get started with Shared Drives, you need to request a Shared Drive. Here's how:
Request a Google Shared Drive
- In a web browser, go to service.stonybrook.edu/portal and sign in with your NetID and NetID password
- Click Browse Entire Catalog near the top left
- Select Communication and Collaboration
- Then select Collaboration
- Select Request a Shared Drive
- Complete the form fields and click Submit (you may need to adjust the slider to view and complete both sides of the form)
