Question

why google drive is helpful for sharing data between multiple users?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, when you share files or folders, you are sharing only access to those files- not the storage itself. The reason why it works this way is to enable the ability to collaborate on the creation and modification of data by multiple users. Thus when any is "shared" what actually happens is that a link is given to the people receiving the share, and they then use that link to access the actual data in the cloud of the person doing the sharing. Therefore there is only 1 copy of the data and everyone works on that same data. Thus the storage used is only on the account of the person doing the sharing.

Answer 2

When using personal Google Accounts there are 2 possible answers, but when specifically dealing with the Sharing feature for files & folders, really only 1. Please read the following carefully- it explains what and how sharing works, but then also explains how you can share an account's storage in a specific case.

Now, if you have purchased a Google One paid storage plan, you can add up to 5 family members to your Google One plan which will share the actual storage for that plan. What happens is that each user first makes use of their own free 15GB, but once they go above 15GB they begin borrowing storage space from the Google One plan owner. Their storage space, even the borrowed amount, is still private to that user- the Google One plan owner cannot see the data.

This is the only way to "share" actual physical storage space.

Hope this clarifies things for you, but of course please feel free to inquire further please make it brainlist answer
