Availability: Drive and My Document Library are in beta and are not yet available to all users.
Who can perform these steps: Users with at least view permission for a document.

Applicable Scenarios
If you need to keep the documents of a completed project in their original folder, you can make it easier to access them by adding shortcuts to them in a new folder. This way, you can find and open the documents of the original project without moving them from their original location.
You can move the files of a project that you have saved in My Space to a shared folder, allowing other members to access it.
