Question

How do I automatically add users to a Google Drive folder?


There’s a problem with Google Drive that we recently encountered, users that access the folder through a link do not get results when they use the search by type (images) function. But when they are added as users, the search function returns results.

Hence the question of how we can automatically add add users to the Google Drive folder. Thanks!
