##  Overview 

Google Drive enables you to store, access, and share files (up to medium-risk data) from any device. Drive has two different spaces for files depending on who owns them. My Drive is for your personal files that you own and can be shared individually. Shared drive is for files and folders your team is collaborating on and are owned at the team level. Team members continue to have access to a shared drive even after one leaves.
