So maybe Dropbox would be a better route to go.While you can access Google Drive on the web through your browser, the search giant also offers apps on every major platform, including desktop Windows, macOS, Android and iOS.
You just need to enable the LAN sync feature. A solution like Dropbox does this with one account across your local network without going out to the internet. The rest can use on the web.Īnother consideration is the internet bandwidth needed to upload and download all those files to multiple users.
Google makes it easy to switch accounts within the App but having switch all the time from business to personal to "The Shared Google Drive" is not really fun.Īnother consideration is the more users the more potential for sync issues an conflicts.I would recommend not syncing more than five windows PC's with sync client. The whole concept of sharing from Google Drive is built around each user having their own account and inviting other users to share or collaborate with them.Īnother thing to consider is that if each user has there own android or IOS device they already have a dedicated account for Gmail email and Google Drive and it is preferred sometimes to make this main account the business email rather than having two or three or more Gmail email accounts (a business Gmail and a Personal and now the "Special Shared Google Drive Account" you are thinking of creating ) because the Gmail Accounts and the Drive Accounts are connected. The reason you would have multiple accounts is for keeping some files private while sharing others. One Google Drive Account will work fine on multiple computers.
