Google Drive allows users to save up data on Google servers and share the data with another user too. Google Drive is specifically used to save large files and huge amounts of data. A specified amount of space is allotted to a single user which is normally 15GBs but one can add up to space by selecting from the paid plans. Users get to have full control of the privacy of their uploaded data.
When different people from the same group are collaborating on data (Documents, Sheets, and Slides), it can sometimes get messy to keep the record of who’s working on which part of the project. Google Drive has made it easy to assign a task to the team members.
In this guide, you will learn how to assign the task to team members on Google Drive.
