If it's not in the Drive, it doesn't exist. - Greg

Google Drive is where we host all our files that are used and shared.

Everything relating to Shiloh or it’s ministries should be stored in our shared folders to avoid losing files or ending up with duplicate copies.

Viewing shared folders

After logging in at drive.google.com there are 4 folders you should see under 'My Drive':

  • 1-Office
  • 2-Ministries
  • 3-Missions
  • 4-Events

If you don’t see these folders you’ll need to add them.

Adding shared folders to My Drive

  1. Click on “Shared With Me” in the left sidebar
  2. Find or search for each folder, then right click and choose “Add to My Drive”

If you can’t find the folders, email luke@shilohcommunity.church for access.

After adding the folders your My Drive should look something like this:

❗
NOTE: Anything that is NOT inside one of these 4 folders is not visible to the rest of staff. For example, the files below the 4 folders in the screenshot above are only visible to me.

Folder Structure

The folder structure is meant to be pretty intuitive most of the time so items can be easily found. At the same time, we have a lot of old files that have not been organized/archived. You can always search for any file or folder you're looking for and then right click on it and choose 'Locate' to see the folder it lives in.
