Store, sync, and share files with ease. Keep all your work in one place, view different file formats without buying extra software, and access your files from any device. Use in conjunction with Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Sites to share and create on the go. 

Shared Drive is a shared space where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device. Unlike files in My Drive, files in a Shared Drive belong to the group instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your group can continue to share information and get work done.

Work faster and collaborate better with Google's powerful email features. Search for messages, organize your inbox, and build relationships with integrated chat and video calls.

You can find and open your files from Google Drive on your computer with Drive File Stream. You can save specific files and folders offline, including Shared Drives, view and organize your files in your computer’s file system without using storage space, open files on your computer, and back up and sync your files with your Mac or Windows computer.

You can access your Drive account on your mobile device. Your ISU Google Drive account has unlimited storage.
