If you want it: File - Make a Copy

Shared Documents can be Renamed

Moving a file or folder from a shared folder into My Drive (or any other folder) is a move and not a copy, so the moved content is removed from the shared folder. Questions?

Be Careful with Sharing

Words of Warning

A file has been shared with users A and B.

Users A and B have access to the file, regardless of its location.

The file is stored in folder X, which has been shared with users A and C.

Users A, B, and C have access to the file.

The file is moved to folder Y, which has been shared with user D.

Now users A, B and D have access to the file, but user C no longer sees it in folder X and no longer has access to the file.

Shared with me is not a folder, so you can safely move a top-level item from Shared with me to My Drive and it won't affect anyone else (as you're not moving anything out of a folder). However, if you click into a folder in Shared with me and then drag an item from the folder into My Drive, that item will no longer be in the folder (for you or anyone else).
