Single shared folder with Google Apps
My users have Google Apps and we're thinking of signing up for Google Drive. We'd like to have a single shared folder that:
1. Shows up on everyone's desktop so they can access files there (the 'Google Drive" folder in My Documents is OK
2. Shows up on the web so folks can get to it there.
I know we can set up separate Google Drive accounts for each user but then there are multiple shared folders vs one single share where everyone's shared data for our business lives.
Is there a way to accomplish this and if so how?

Hey, I will have an answer for you by tomorrow afternoon. I'm going to take a look into this and find the answer and show you how to set this up this way if it is possible for the google doc/drive can work this way.
So, I did a little bit of research on this. I found that you can create a folder that can be shared you can also set the permissions to where whom ever you invite to the shared folder can only view, and others can edit etc. Maybe if we can set up a time to actually get together on team viewer. I can just show you a little demo on how to do this. Its quick and easy. I can show you how to set up the folder, set the permissions and how to invite others to the folder. If this is something that you would like to do let me know. If not i can make a tutorial document with images on how to do this. Would take more time so that is why i'm suggesting the team viewer. Let me know which route you would like to take on how to do this.
