Important notes about sharing in a group

• Group members or owners can access, delete, modify, or save to their devices any content shared with the group.

• Content shared with the group will remain in the group after a user leaves or is removed from a group by a group owner.

• Members should not share content with a group that they're concerned about sharing or losing, and should keep personal copies of shared files if they're concerned about losing access to those files.

• Before leaving a group, users should delete content they want to remove or save copies of content they want to access later.

• Members can request that a group owner remove content after they leave or are removed from a group, but it is up to the group owner's discretion to honor this request.

• Group owners can also export the group content and provide the same to group members
