Known issues with shared drives

The following limitations and known issues apply to the current release:

• You can't store some file types in shared drives, including (but not limited to):
  • Google Maps
  • Google Photos
  • Some virtual file types, such as App Maker apps
  • Files owned by other domains
• You can only add external users as a shared drives member if they have a Google Account associated with their email address. To resolve this, users can create a Google Account with their existing email. 
• Hidden shared drives still appear in Drive File Stream on users’ desktop computers.
