How to make shared files into your own on google drive.

Motivation:
  • Not convenient to find a doc in "shared with me" folder, shared files are too many and not organized in any way. 

Solution: 
  • Make shared docs that you are interested at your own.

How to do make them your own?
  1. find a shared doc (call it A, owned by someone) at "shared with me"
  2. add it to "my drive"
  3. make a copy of the shared doc at "my drive" (copy is B, owned by me)
  4. Remove the shared doc (A) from "my drive"
  5. Rename B to A. Now A is yours !!!
  6. Move A to whatever folder you want to organize files.
