Individuals can be a member of multiple Team Drives. Team Drives have their own section within the Google Drive interface. They provide shared spaces where teams can create and store files.
Team Drives are a new feature within Google Drive. While this access loss can be rectified, it’s a time-wasting inconvenience that frequently plagues our clients. This results in other people losing access. While both the end-user and domain administrator do have the ability to transfer ownership of shared data, this is difficult to manage and enforce – particularly in large organisations.Īnother common issue is the loss of access that occurs when users move shared files out of shared folders. If one of these people leaves an organisation and their account is deleted, all the files and folders owned by them are also deleted. This means that shared folders typically end up with files and sub-folders owned by numerous different people. How can shared data loss occur?Īll Google Drive files and folders are owned by the person who creates them. In this post, we’ll explain how shared data loss can occur, what Team Drives are, how they differ to existing shared folders and how your organisation can use this new feature to protect against shared data loss.
Google’s release of Team Drives is a long-awaited solution to this problem. However, there has always been one big problem they don’t love – the potential for shared data loss when people leave an organisation. The schools, universities and businesses we work with love how G Suite makes sharing and collaboration easy. **UPDATE: Google released Team Drives to all G Suite education and enterprise customers on March 9, 2017**
