# Shared Drive

Similar to Database Tables, the Drive folders can also be made accessible across multiple projects. In the [Drive](https://help.pillir.io/docs/edgeready-drive) of a particular project, users can create New Folders and Files by clicking **New Folder** or **Upload file**. On entering the required information, the folders are created in the Drive.

## Sharing Folders to the Library

After clicking the **New Folder** button, the following popup window is displayed:

- The user is given an option to choose whether the particular folder has to remain **Private to this Project** or **Global on the Library**.
- Selecting the **Global on the Library** option makes the folder available in the **Shared Drive** of the Library.

Folders that are created **Private** for a particular project can also be shared to the **Library** from Project > Drive > Files through the ellipsis menu options.

NoteIndividual Files cannot be shared to the Library. Only Folders can be shared

## Assigning Folders to Projects

Under the Global Files (Shared Drive), a user(role) with Library permissions can share a folder across projects by granting **Permissions**.

NoteThese Folders that have been shared and available in the local drive are **Read-only**. They cannot be edited or removed. However, there is a **DOWNLOAD** option to download files.
