This article explains how to create and share Google Drive folders with anyone who has a Google account. How to Create Google Drive FolderThe first thing you need to do before you can collaborate with others in Google Drive is to create a folder. It's a handy organizing bin for items you want to share. To create a folder in Google Drive:
Share Your FolderNow that you've made a folder, you need to share it.
Add Documents to the FolderWith the folder and sharing preferences set up, it's super easy to share your files from now on. Select My Drive at the top of the folder screen to return to the screen that displays the files you have uploaded. By default, your Google Drive shows you all your files, shared or not, and organizes them by the date they were most recently edited. Select and drag any document to the new folder to share it. Any file, folder, document, slide show, spreadsheet, or item inherits the same sharing privileges as the folder. Add any document, and boom, it's shared with the group. Anyone with editing access to your folder can do the same thing and share more files with the group. You can use the same method to make subfolders for organizing the content within the shared folder. That way you don't end up with a huge group of files and no method of sorting them. Finding Files in Google DriveYou don't need to rely on folder navigation to find what you need when you work with Google Drive. If you give your files meaningful names, just use the search bar. It's Google, after all. Everyone with editing access can edit your shared docs live, all at the same time. The interface has a few quirks here and there, but it's still much faster for sharing documents than using SharePoint's check-in/check-out system.
