Google Drive

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, and Forms
  • Staff sharing documents publicly should be aware that the content may be web searchable so consideration must be given to this before sharing
  • Google Workspace in Glow users will be able to configure offline access to files to sync when not connected to Google Workspace
  • My Drive can be used for folders and files belonging to an individual and Shared Drives when they belong to a team.

You can use the Google Support Centre resources below to find out more about Drive itself:
