Shared files are files someone else created or owns and has shared with you. Google Drive keeps them in Shared with me rather than My Drive, so they don't appear in the first list you see in Sheetgo's storage picker.
You can find shared files through the LOCATIONS panel, search for them, or add a shortcut to My Drive.
Select files from Shared with me
In your Sheetgo automation, start selecting a file or folder to open the storage picker.
For Google Drive, find the LOCATIONS panel on the left.
Select Shared with me. The picker lists only the files and folders others have shared with you.
Select the file or folder you want to connect.
Search for a shared file or folder
Type the file or folder name in the Search bar. Sheetgo searches both My Drive and shared files. Select the item you want from the results.
Add a shortcut to My Drive
You can also make a shared file accessible from My Drive:
Open Google Drive and go to Shared with me.
Add a shortcut to My Drive for the shared file.
Return to Sheetgo's storage picker and select My Drive in the LOCATIONS panel.
Select the shortcut. It appears alongside your own files with a shortcut icon.
Navigate the storage picker
The LOCATIONS panel includes My Drive, Shared drives, Shared with me, Recent, and Starred files.
Expand My Drive or Shared drives to open their subfolders.
Select Recent to find the files you opened most recently.
Resize or collapse the panel to give the file list more room.
If My Drive has no files, the picker opens on your shared content instead of an empty screen.
Files in a Google Workspace shared drive
A Google Workspace shared drive is different from files shared with you individually. For files stored there, see Connect files from a shared Google Drive to your workflows.
