The self-service creation of Google shared drives is now available. TWU faculty, staff, and students may create Google shared drives; however, self-created Google shared drives may only be shared with other TWU email addresses. If you need to add an external user or share files within a Google shared drive with a person outside of TWU, contact the Service Desk at 940-898-3971, servicedesk@twu.edu, or techchat.twu.edu.

Important note: Users may share files and folders from their Google My Drive with external users by setting the appropriate sharing permissions per file or folder. TWU faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to only create Google shared drives when necessary, as shared folders within Google My Drive may be sufficient for most cases. See “Best practices for shared drives” for more information
