PreVeil Drive Best Practices

When sharing a folder in Drive, if there is data in that folder it will need to be synced up with PreVeil and encrypted before the folder can be shared.
The amount of time this takes will be dependent on how much data is in the folder.
If you share the folder before populating it with the data, it only takes a few seconds.
Any data you then populate into the shared folder will propagate over to those that you’ve shared the folder with.

A central idea when migrating a large file collection to Drive is to distribute the files to a set of top-level folders and share them as opposed to populating a single folder and sharing.
Spreading a large file collection over several top-level folders will make it easier to manage that data on the folder level, and increase performance.

When a user changes the name of a shared folder, the name only changes for that user, not anyone else that has access to the folder.
This could make it more difficult for people that share access to the folder to coordinate data in that folder if different people have it show up under different names.
If the folder name needs to be changed, do so before sharing it.

In Drive, there is functionality known as Expanded Folder Permissions, which allows a user to share different levels of a folder tree with different people and at different permission levels.
When using this functionality, if the top level folder is going to be shared then you’ll want to share that first, before sharing any of the subfolders beneath.
If you share a subfolder first and then try to share the top level folder above it later, you will be blocked from doing so due to the fact there is already a shared folder beneath it.
