OT question about Google Workspaces:
What's the difference between My Drive, Shared Drives, and "Workspaces"? When would I want to use each in a team setup?
You can share things with anyone, even if you're using Google drive with a normal Gmail (non-workspace) Google account.
My drive are files you created / uploaded (and thus count against your space quota) and shared is where things go that have been shared with you by others, or public drive links that you've visited.
Workspace is a shared space private to the company/organization workspace group.
shared drives: owned by the org; potentially locked to teams/sub-org structures inside the org
The difference: suppose you're a startup and you use my drive only to save half the price of gsuite ($7 vs $14/mo). Your eng lead sets up engineering folder, etc. But that is owned by that user. If that person leaves, that folder will be archived or transferred to a designed person with access disrupted. Because it's owned by an user account, not the org.
