With this simple-to-implement tip, you can make team collaboration quick and painless. Google has made the process of collaborating on documents incredibly easy. By breaking it down into smaller groups, you have more control over who can do what with the collaboration file/folder. When I share the file with the three groups, I could give the beta readers viewing-only rights, the editors editing rights, and the proofreaders commenting rights. For example: I could create a group of beta readers, a group of editors, and a group of proofreaders. If you have to break those permissions up, you should consider creating different groups that will be given different permissions. Select the group permission from the Can Edit drop-down.Ĭollaborating with a group in Google Drive.Ī caveat: You've effectively given the entire group the same permission.And as cloud transfer runs on Multcloud, transfer process continues even when your computer is powered off. In the field (where you'd normally type the name of the user you intend to share with), type the name of the group for collaboration ( Figure A). For instance, you can easily move all files from one Google Drive to another or use 'copy and paste' to copy certain files from Dropbox to Google Drive.Once you've got the group(s) just right, it's time to share that file or folder with them this is done in the standard fashion. Continue doing that until the group is filled with the necessary members.

As soon as the person appears, click their entry to add them to the group. To add a member to the group, click the Add Person button (the red circle in the bottom right corner) and then type a name. If you need to create a specific group for sharing, follow these steps in Google Contacts. So instead of typing a single person's name in the Sharing field, you type the group's name. What you can do to make regular sharing with numerous people easier is use Groups.
