Google Drive Workspaces

Workspaces are a great way to create a collection of documents you use often or need quick access to. I use it for times when I need to set up groups of files for Conference Presentations or tasks that require multiple files that I want to access quickly (not having to dig through Drive to find the created folders). Workspaces are only available to Google Workspace accounts (work, not personal accounts). Check out the details below to learn how to use this page to its fullest to keep you organized and working fast!

How to Work with the Workspaces:

Create a Workspace:

1. Click on “Workspaces” on the left in Google Drive.

2. Click on “Create workspace” next to the word Workspace on the Priority Page.

3. Name the space and click “Create”.

4. A new pop-up will ask you to choose files to add; some suggestions will come up, and you can click “Choose other files” to get more. Select from your Drive what you want to be added to this Workspace, click “Add Files”, and click “Done”.

5. Your new Workspace is now set! You can add and remove files anytime you wish. The “Add” button allows you to add new files to this Workspace, and if you click the Snowman, you will see “Remove from Workspace” on individual files.

6. When you are done with this Workspace and want to no longer see it, you can Hide or Remove it. Hide just tucks it away for later use, while Remove deletes it. No worries, your files are not removed from Drive, just from this visible “Bundle”.

7. If you hide the Workspace, you can find it later in the “Hidden workspaces” section at the bottom. These can be brought back for later use!

Head into your Drive and create a time-saving Workspace to organize your related content!
