G Suite, formerly known as Google Apps for Business, allows us to easily share documents.
Logging in
Go to drive.google.com. If you are already signed in with your personal address, please sign out. Your login name for the MTG drive is your first name@mtgdrive.com.
Once you're in, you should see a folder called "Shared Drive". Anything you create or place in that folder will be available to the entire team. Double-click the folder to open it.
Google Docs
It's easy to make documents, spreadsheets and presentations in G Suite. There are definite advantages to creating documents straight in G Suites, instead of working in Word or Excel.
Chief among them: Anyone can edit those documents from a computer or a mobile device, and multiple people can edit at one time. Changes are automatically save. You can revert to an earlier version if needed.
To create a document, click the big blue "New" button at the top of the page. You can also upload files that way.
Using Google Drive on your desktop
If you install the Google Drive application, you will be able to access files within it through the Finder interface—like you would for any other folder on your computer.
There will also be a shortcut in your menu bar: IMAGE TK
To set that up, click the gear icon below your initial (at the top of the Drive page, on the right) and select "Download Drive."
