Hi Sharon,
Got it, now I see what is happening đ
You are using the software app Google Drive, which has been superceded twice now!
Originally it was called ‘Google Drive’ (logical!), then it changed to ‘Backup & Sync’, and now it is changed again to: ‘Google Drive File Stream’ (phew!).
So, as I see it, if you want to be able to save into a Team Drive (not visible via the Google Drive app), follow these steps:
- Download and install the new app Google Drive File Stream…
- To use the app on your computer, you may need to allow access security settings. You look like you are using a Mac, so you may need to allow this in the security setting inside the System Preferences (Apple > System Preferences > Security & Privacy): Security & Privacy” width=”875″ height=”492″ />
- Now that it is installed, you have some really useful options. Drive File Stream is a greatly improved tool and doesn’t take any space on your computer like the old Google Drive app did – it streams what you need when you need it!
- Follow this tutorial to use it – this will appear as part of an upcoming online course for members this year!
