Previously, only the assigned user on the property could see the Google Drive folder content. Now, users can set the ability to share their folders with other users in the organization. This is done through each user's Google Drive setting.

Important:

By enabling the Google Drive setting, all of your Google Drive folder content will be available for other users to access.
