Users can link existing Google Drive folders or create new ones within Salesforce using the Drive Links component.

This allows users to share their already organized documents pertaining to a Salesforce record with others in the org. Users can also make a new folder on the fly for records that don’t already have a folder in Google Drive, which can be useful for newly created records.
