Google Drive is a free Cloud Storage Service provided by Google. Individuals, as well as companies, can use this free platform for Storage purposes. The company uses Google Drive to share docs, excels, videos, etc. to the employee so that employees can access those shared projects resource from anywhere at any time and have real-time updates facilities.
This shared contains is located inside the "Shared With me" section in google drive. This contains files, folders, applications, shared by someone (friends, family, and coworkers) to you. Suppose someone shared your files and folder then it will appear in your "Shared with me" section. So Google Drive is popular nowadays as a file-sharing service.
We are happy with these google drive features. But some times of using this service, you like to save or copy from "Shared with me" to "My Drive".When trying to do this you are not able to perform them accurately. Also, I know that when the owner of the shared documents deletes or changed permission of shared documents then I will not be able to access them.
So, searching a lot on the internet, found a solution that let shared documents copy into "My Drive" so that I can access them at any time even if the files are deleted or change permission to the file by the file owner.
Method 1: Copy from "Shared with me" to "My Drive" by Downloading and uploading to My Drive
In the above methods, we have to request the owner of the shared files and folder to change the permission to either Editor or Owner. If he/she is a friend or co-worker then they will grant access to you. But sometimes it is difficult to ask them to grant permission. If so then is method is best for you.
Steps:
1. Right-click on Shared Folders or files.
2. Click on Download
Downloading Status will be shown in the bottom right corner.
3. Goto My Drive
4. Right-click on the empty area and click on "Upload files" for file or "Upload folder" for the folder.
5. Select the location of the downloaded files and click on "Open".
This will start uploading and at the bottom right corner will show the status of the upload.
That's it.
Method 2: Copy from "Shared with me" to "My Drive" using the "Make a Copy" option
If direct parents of "Shared with me" are files then you just select files, right-click on them and select "Make a Copy". This will make a copy at " My Drive".
If its direct parent is a shared folder, then go into that folder, select all files you want to copy, right-click on selected files and select "Make a Copy". This will make a copy at "My Drive".Later you can go to "My Drive" and manage those files into a folder or whatever you like to do.
Note: Google Has Removed the feature for Making copies of the entire folder so only Make a Copy for files work
