How to Find and Keep Shared Folders & Files


When a folder is shared with you in Google Drive you will not automatically see the folder in  your drive when you open your account.


First,  go to the Shared with Me tab. Your screen will either show a list or icons of folders or docs shared with you by date depending on  your screen view.

Next, you have to Add to My Drive and then all changes to the file or folder will be automatically be updated in My Drive. This can be accomplished in two ways.


The first is to select the file or doc and RIGHT click (on a Mac two fingers on the track pad and click with your thumb or another finger). A window will open, select Add to My Drive.

Another way to Add to My Drive is to select the file/folder (it will be highlighted) and then click on the icon Add to My Drive.
