Please vote for this change in Google Team drive

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I would love the ability to change share permissions on folders as well as files on Google Team Drive. This means our staff and student share can go

 

Someone else has created a suggestion on Google Cloud Connect and the voting is slowing building up.

 

Any G Suite users who would like to see this, would you mind voting this up please?

Whilst we are on this, if you want to stop students creating their own team drive, you can vote on this one.

Are you using a standard gmail / Google account or a G Suite account? It needs to be a G Suite account, a Google account won't work.

Ah. Standard gmail.

 

Thanks.

Upvoted both. For us the biggest block to moving forward has been the inability for staff to move their folders to their new created Team Drives - current the functionality is restricted to Super Admins. There is an idea for this one - please consider upvoting this one too.

Hope this isn't a hijack? Implementing Team drives has stalled for us as users can not move their folder to the their team drive. Super Users can do it for them but that's not really workable for us. There idea is there already, so if you agree, please do upvote.

I've come across a workflow issue and I'm not sure whether I need a change of mindset from Windows or a fix in Team Drive. We have a Team Drive for governors which I made them all editors of. This allows them to create and edit files, but not delete them. Only owners can delete files, but they can also add or remove members. Given that the admin can recover files which have been deleted, is there a need to stop editors from deleting? They could clear the contents of the file anyway.

[FN-GM]

Why would it be an issue for them to delete files? Surely they should be treated like members of staff and trusted?

That's what I'm getting at - although not expressing myself well. I want them to be able to delete files, but I don't want them to be able to add or remove users to the team. The only way you can allow them to delete files is to make them owners of the team drive which lets them set permissions, which to me is like letting users set permissions on a network share. Presumably they could also invite users who are not in our Google domain.

If you give them Edit rights they will be able to do everything but add other users.
