Sharing Google Drive Contents

Set permissions to share the folder with students and families

You will most likely want parents to be able to see everything in your "Work for Home" folder. Keep in mind that not everyone has a Google account, so will need to set the permission accordingly.


IMPORTANT: To make it easiest for you, set the permission to your Google Drive folder when you create the folder. This will ensure that every file has the correct permissions and that the permissions do not have to be set individually.
