COLLABORATE IN GOOGLE DRIVE

Google Groups can be used to share files and folders in Google My Drive and Google Shared Drives.

• To share a file or folder with a group, use the “Share” option to add the Google Group.
• To add a Google Group to a Shared drive, use the Add members option in the Shared drives to add the group.
• Set the permission level for the group as desired. See My Drive File Sharing Access and Permissions or Shared Drives Membership Roles for more information about access level.

Access provided by a Google Group will change over time as the membership of a group changes. See Google Group Roles and Permissions for information on managing the membership of an ad-hoc group. College Lists and Work Lists memberships are automated based on institutional reference data.

COMMUNICATE WITH GROUP MEMBERS

Google Groups can be used to email members of the group as well as a Collaborative Inbox to organize, reply to, and assign messages/conversations. Google Chat can also be used with Google Groups to engage with group members in a Chat Room.  See Using Google Chat for more information.
