'Add to My Drive' is a feature in Google Drive that allows you to organize folders and files shared with you. It provides a link to the original document in your My Drive so that you can organize it for quick reference. This is useful for content such as email attachments but is also used for content scanned to a personal scan folder or PayScan for payment processing by the AP team. 


Note: All corporate records and working documents should be saved in the correct 'Shared Drives'.
