Google Drive allows you to store and share files and folders and keeps everything in one place to support collaboration. easily view files that others have shared with you, search, move or copy files and access them from any device. A video example of using Docs in Drive can be found at the bottom of this article.

Google Workspace in Glow is configured as follows:

Students can only share with and receive files from whitelisted domains. This allows collaboration with another named Glow Google Workspace domain
Staff can share and receive files externally with any other Google Workspace user and also share files to anyone with the link. This includes Docs, Sheets, Sites, Slides, Forms and Jamboard jams
Staff sharing documents publicly should be aware that the content may be web searchable so consideration must be given to this before sharing

My Drive can be used for folders and files belonging to an individual and Shared Drives when they belong to a team.
