Adding File/Folder to my Google Drive when shared

Created by Daniel Younkin, Modified on Wed, Jul 19, 2017 at 9:14 AM by Daniel Younkin

  1. When you have received an email that an item has been shared with you GO TO drive.google.com
  2. Find on the Left column “Shared with me” and click
  3. Find the new file/folder shared with you. Right-Click on the file/folder and select "Add to My Drive" [***IMPORTANT***: DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD]
  4. Once this has been done go to your “Local” Google Drive and find the shared file/folder. You will notice that the icon will have a person on it, representing that it is a shared file/folder
  5. It may take up to 5 min to show up in your local Google Drive. Depending on the file sizes it may take longer to finish syncing.
