Once you have reviewed other users' permissions for each Shared Drive that you manage, you can follow these steps to "claim" each drive in order to help determine its disposition:


Step 1 - Open the MyCAT tool

  1. Navigate to https://mycat.ccs.vt.edu/ (Log in if prompted).
MyCAT tool homepage

Step 2 - 'Claim' your Shared Drives

  1. Scroll down the webpage until you reach the 'Google' Tab. Click the arrow on the righthand side of the tab to open a menu.
MyCAT tool Google menu
  1. Click the arrow in the 'Shared Drives' tab to open the Shared Drives section of the tool.
MyCAT tool Google menu -- Shared Drives menu
  1. You will see a list of all Shared Drives that you are included in (be sure to check and see if there are multiple pages, as only 10 Drives load into the list per page). There should be a 'Recommend' button beside the Shared Drives you are a manager of. (If there are no 'Recommend' buttons beside any of the Drives in your list, you aren't a manager for any Shared Drives, and you can stop the tutorial here).
