Estimation time: 15 minutes.

Google Drive is where nearly all of our work lives, and how we use it day to day has a real impact — beyond just security. Scattered files, inconsistent naming, duplicate versions, and files stuck in personal drives all slow the team down and create real risk: lost work, outdated versions being used by mistake, inconsistent branding, and sensitive information ending up in the wrong hands. This course covers a handful of simple habits that address all of it at once.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, you'll know how to:

• Tell the difference between My Drive and Shared Drives, and why it matters
• Recognize how folder permissions are inherited, and use Limited access to protect sensitive content
• Name your files and folders consistently, following our ISO 8601 date standard
• Version your documents using tabs instead of creating duplicate files
• Start new work from official Akselos templates
• Apply the principle of least privilege and classify documents by confidentiality level
• Know when — and when not — to create a new Shared Drive

How This Relates to Your Work

Every document you create, share, or file touches at least one of these habits. This isn't just a security topic — it's about working efficiently: finding what you need faster, never losing work to a personal drive, using the right version, and keeping our documents on-brand and consistent. Getting it right takes no extra time once it's a habit, and it pays off across the board.
