What Does the 'Shortcuts Simplify My Drive' Message Mean?
Are you seeing a message at the top of Google Drive about shortcuts simplifying Drive? Here's what it means, and why it's happening. Users used to be able to save the same file in more than one folder in Drive. Many of those duplicate files still exist in our Google Drives. Then last year Google imposed storage limits on all Google Workspace users. In order to reduce the amount of space your files are taking up, Google will be automatically replacing those duplicate files with shortcuts that link to the original file. You'll still have access to those files in those additional folders, but they won't take up as much space as a duplicate file. An important note: After those files are replaced, permissions to the original file won't automatically update, so you'll need to add anyone who had permissions to view, comment or edit the duplicate files. Here are all the details and FAQs about this change.
