Can a google drive folder within a 'Shared Drive top level folder' have different user access permissions from its parent users? For example Jane has access to the Shared Drive folder 'Office'. Within the Shared Drive Office there is a folder 'HR applications' Jane should not have access to. Can it be done and if so, how?

Can I create a connection on one computer or device that exposes my drive to the rest of my network as a network shared drive?
My specific use case is that I have an older scanner that is connected to my wife that scans files and can send them to an email address, or to a network shared location. I’m trying to get it to send files directly to my Google drive though. Is there any way I can have computer connect to drive that lets the rest of the network see it as a shared drive?
Google Drive integration into Windows means that there will be some folder that acts as the Google Drive drop folder.
That folder, typically under your Documents folder can be Shared:
Right-click
Properties
Sharing tab
Click Advanced Sharing
Check Share this folder
Click Permissions
Grant Everyone the Change permission
Good question, totally fits StackOverflow, and definitely shouldn't be closed.

anyway to migrate the 15GB free drive account to a workspace business account?
(must include the google doc files)
trial
Even if the 15gb account is granted content manager, folder in 15gb account still cannot move to shared drive of the workspace account
reason doc "" You can only move folders owned by a user in your organization.""
I'd do the following:
Make a shared drive on your Workspace account.
Give Content manager permissions to your free account.
Copy or move the files to the drive.
Move the files to your new account root folder.
(optional) Remove the shared drive, or revoke your free account's permissions to it.
Alternatively, since you have a Workspace account, you can contact Workspace support.
I have a web application which will create users. And I have a single Google Drive. Once a user is create a folder will be assigned to that user in that Google Drive. That user can access only the folder allocated. Every time the user logs in from the web application the files within the allocated folder are able to view and the user can also upload and download files to that folder only. How this is achieved using Google API.
To start with you are going to need a create a service account for your application. The application will own the google drive account.
https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2#serviceaccount
Then your application is going to have to create the directory for the new user and associate the user with the directory's fileid (remember directorys are just files in google drive) the directory name could change so save the file id not the directory name to be sure.
Then it should simple be a matter of your appilcation uploading / viewing the files to the correct directory depending upon who is loged in. Since you will have the id for the directory it will be easy enough to list them the files already in that directory. as well as uploading directly to that directory.
Say, I am a Domain Super Administrator. And, there are User A (source - files to be copied from) and User B (destination - files to be copied to). Is there any Google Drive SDK API available for this feature?
When I read this: https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/copy, this API allows only to copy into my own Google Drive.
Please help. Thanks.
