You used to be able to put files and folders in multiple places in google drive. It was either removed or made a more obscure feature because I can’t find it now. I suspect it’s too confusing to maintain long-term, leading to what appears to be buggy behavior.
I handle this by making a google sheet for a project with links to the main files, many of which inevitably are cross-referenced to other projects or standards. It works well enough, and has a killer feature: if you move or rename a file, which I do all the time if documentation is refactored, the link doesn’t break!
- rkda 6y agoSelecting the file and using Shift + Z should do the trick. Though it's been a while since I did this. It's really annoying how you can't easily make copies of directories anymore. They just create "Shortcuts" instead which act like symlinks. People though they were copies though and damn did we have a lot of accidentally deleted files these past few weeks. Also, their file recovery UX sucks.
