Print an Entire Shared Google Drive Folder
Shared Drive folders work the same way as personal folders for batch printing. If you have been given access to a shared folder and need printed copies of everything inside, open the folder, select all, and run the extension. Viewer access is enough to convert and print.
Access requirements
You need at least Viewer access to each file in the shared folder. Files with download restrictions will fail during conversion. The rest of the folder exports normally. If you cannot convert some files, ask the folder owner to check the download settings.
Finding the shared folder in Drive
Shared folders appear under 'Shared with me' in Google Drive. If you were given a direct link, opening it adds it to your Drive view. Navigate into the folder and proceed with the standard batch selection and conversion.
Where the PDFs go
Downloaded PDFs go to your local computer, not back to the shared folder. Others in the shared folder cannot see the PDFs unless you upload them. This is intentional: your local downloads are private to your machine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I print a shared folder that I do not own?
Yes, with Viewer access or higher. Files with download restrictions set by the owner will fail; others export normally.
Can other people in the shared folder also print it using the extension?
Yes, each person with access can independently use the extension to convert and print the folder contents.
