How to Share File Access if you're using Google Drive

  • PRO TIP: Before moving your folder to a share drive to disperse to your staff, under the PQDPlaybook - Play Editor Librasries folder,rename the Drawings and/or Shapes folders with your school name or abbreviation.  This will help ensure everything is using the team playbook that you are sharing and not a base install library. If you are sharing custom template, drawing or shapes libraries we would highly recommend doing it to all of them.
  • Check to make sure that the Google Drive App is not already installed on your computer by searching in your windows search at the bottom of your computer.
  • Split screen your desktop with one side as Google Drive in your browser and the other as the Documents folder in your File Explorer.

  • Click and drag the PQDPlaybook folder into your Google Drive in My Drive.



  • Select the 3 dots to the right of the PQDPlaybook folder and hit Share to add the emails of the coaches that you want to have have access to these files. Press Send.
