Google Drive with multiple users can they all upload to the same shared directory?

Help and Support

This is a hypothetical rather than specific question so I haven't used the template.

When using Google Drive in Google Workspace there is an upload limit of 750GB/user/day so if I have five users they can each upload 750GB/day i.e. 3.75TB. This is straightforward if each user has a separate root directory but how can it be managed if I want them to share the same single directory? Can I do this? Can I do this with a crypt remote? I realise that I can do this by uploading to five separate directories then moving the files to the shared area but I'm still unclear whether I can use five different crypts with the same passwords.

Yes, you can have 5 different Google accounts uploading up to 750GB/day to the same crypt directory.

However, be warned the more users you have interacting with a crypt the more potential issues with corruption. @kapitainsky would be best to speak towards that, though.

Thanks. I think that I shall have the five users copy to five separate directories & then move the files to the shared area. I assume that I setup the five crypts with the same password.

Does the 750GB upload limit apply when you are copying Google Drive to Google Drive?

Then it would still all be running to the same crypt, so you might as well start off just dumping into the same directory as well.

I've been told there is a 750GB/24h import limit and a separate 750GB/24h internal transfer limit. However, I believe in practice I ran into a total 750GB/24h moving any file in/internal/out limit.
