Google Shared Drive is the preferred place to store your Google files. Shared Drives allows users to have a central place to store files so you can more easily find files and, gives groups a more organized place to share their collaborations. Unlike files in Google Drive, files will remain on the Shared Drive even after the file creator's account has been removed.
Create A Google Shared Drive
To create a Shared Drive open your Google Drive and navigate to Shared Drives:
Click 
and give the new Shared Drive a name that easily identifies the contents of the drive:
As the creator of the Shared Drive you will automatically be assigned the Manager role. The Manager role gives you full control over the drive. You can now add new members and give them appropriate roles. There can be multiple Managers. Select the Viewer role if you want files to be protected. Choose the Contributor role up to Manager role for those you want to enable as active collaborations.
