Making a copy of a shared file allows users to add them while creating folders under My Drive for easier access. Since a copy of the shared file is only a duplicate of the original file, changes made to the copy will not apply to the original file. Follow the instructions below to create a copy of a shared file.
- Right click the file you want to copy in Shared with me. A context menu will appear.
- Click Make a copy.
A copy of the file will be created in My Drive.
Note: For instructions on moving the copied file, visit the Moving Drive Files and Folders article.
