Shared Drives

Shared drives can be thought of like traditional shared network drives you may have experienced on corporate scenarios. National IT Automatically create and maintain a range of shared drives, specifically every member will have a flotilla shared drive with all members, the flotilla executive and squadron executives respectively will also have shared drives.


The shared drives are great for sharing files with groups, particularly with regards to handovers as positions change.
