Shared drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device.

Unlike files in My Drive, files in a shared drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.

My Drive is the central hub of Google Drive for your own personal files. It contains the main repository for files you upload to the Google cloud. It works like a folder, capable of containing both files and subfolders.
