We're looking at migrating from a traditional file server to Google Drive and are currently trying to figure out to replicate our current permission structure so there's as little difference between the two as possible.
On our current file share we usually have the following folder structure:
- Project Folder
- Budget
- Scope of Work
- Sensitive Content
- User Interviews
- User Contact info
At the project folder level we'll usually let all staff who are on the project have access. But then for the subfolder "sensitive content" we'd restrict it to a smaller group of staff.
So where we currently funnel down the users who have access as you go further into the directory structure it looks like Google drive is the opposite, needing to be more restrictive at first then share more as needed. My only initial idea is to classify the data a the beginning and create multiple shared drives for the project with a classification label.
For example create the following shared drives at the start of a project: Project A (Public) Project A (Internal) Project A (Internal-Sensitive)
Is this how others have set up Google Shared drives?
