Google Workspace Changes

Google Drive introduces a beta program to allow sharing of specific folders within shared drives.

Google is launching a beta program that enables managers of shared drives to share specific folders with other users or upgrade member access to provide additional permissions on specific folders. This allows for more granular collaboration, such as sharing a specific project folder with an external agency while keeping the rest of the shared drive internal. Access levels for folders can only be expanded, not reduced, from the shared drive level. Additionally, starting September 1, 2020, moving folders into or between shared drives will require manager permissions on both the original and target locations.
