#Create a Shared Drive

In Confidence Platform for Google, you can create a shared drive by using one of the following methods:

• Create a shared drive directly – In Administration > Shared drives, administrators can create a shared drive in the target tenant without additional confirmation or approval.

• Provision a shared drive through MyHub – Create shared drive provisioning templates in Governance > Services, then submit shared drive provisioning requests through MyHub for Google. This method enables end users, such as department managers and team leads, to initiate the shared drive provisioning process from the MyHub end-user portal. For more information about creating provisioning templates and requests, refer to Configure Shared Drive Provisioning Service.

To create a shared drive directly, complete the following steps:

1. On the Shared drives page, click Create shared drive in the upper-right corner of the page.

2. On the Create shared drive page, complete the following configurations:

   • Basic information – Configure the basic information of the shared drive, including the Tenant, Organizational unit, and Name. Then, click Next to proceed.

   • Members – Search for and add users or groups to the shared drive and members.

     Selected users are displayed in the table below. For each member, select a role in the Permission column from Viewer, Commentor, Contributor, Content manager, and Manager. To remove a member from the list, click the Remove icon to the right of the member.

     Then, click Next to proceed.

   • Settings– In the Settings step, select the checkbox of a setting to enable it. Configurable settings include:

     • Allow the manager to modify the shared drive settings

     • Access

       • Allow people outside of the tenant to access files

       • Allow people who aren’t shared drive members to access files
