How do I create a Shared Drive?

One of my team members created an uneditable, unshareable (from my end, that is) Shared Drive. This can be viewed in the screenshot I uploaded as « Drive partagés » in the side menu. I do not know how she did this, and cannot seem to find any resource for doing so. Please note that this is not a shared document or file, but an actual drive that is shared with others, in which only the owner has ability to share or unshare, edit, upload, move, or delete files, and any other participants are merely viewers. I would really love to create such a Shared Drive in order to have files that my own students will be able to view and have no chance of accidentally deleting or moving.

Short answer is: you can't. You can create Folders, sub folders and the like with permissions that allow whomever it is shared with [ including the direct link] to edit as much as they want. An example would be: Shared folder>Files [wherein everything in this folder is shared, with permissions set to anyone to edit. Bear in mind that edit permissions also includes deleting and uploading. You're responsible for the content of the drive at the end of the day. Family Sharing is something entirely separate and covered by the very able support folks at Google One if you have that set up.
