GOOGLE_DRIVE Flashcards
What does it mean when one says google drive can be shared live?
Once a document is shared, Google can send the people you shared a document with a notification telling them you’ve shared the document with them. When they log into the document, each user can see the other users IN the document. You can actually watch their cursor as they type and even start a group chat from inside the document.
What happens to the documents inside folder once the permissions have been set for the FOLDER.
The permissions of the folder are the permissions of the items in the folder - whatever they may be.
Can collaboration be set to specific folders?
Yes. A shared collaborative folder can be set so that it can only be accessed by significant personnel.
How does google drive deal with version control of shared documents?
Collaborators in a specific document are mapped so that anyone can see when a particular document was updated, how it was updated and by who.
