Using Files from the Team Drive

When using items from the Team Drive for instruction - Please make a copy of the file first, and place in your own My Drive. Only member of the Team Drive can access the files, and I will receive access requests when documents are shared with anyone outside of the Team Drive members try to access the documents.


This will also allow you to make changes to documents without changing them for everyone!


For directions on making a copy of a document and moving it to your own drive, click here.
