https://support.google.com/drive/thread/36201091?hl=en&msgid=36386366<p>Can someone who has experience in a Google Product or UX team explain how these decisions get made?<p>If i create a folder and share it with others, why would you want to deprecate the ability to view the folder in their own desktop Google Drive folders? Instead it's replaced with Add a Shortcut, which for me on Desktop is not very useful.<p>Are they intentionally doing this to try and get me to use their browser based Explorer? But I see now advantages in doing so, either for myself or for Google.<p>Genuinely baffled. Many others have similar experiences too i'm sure. I'm still hurting over the removal of searching for Forum posts.
