By default, new projects are created in the shared Drive workspace. On Enterprise plans, Drive admins can change this setting so new projects are created in the user’s Private workspace instead. This can help reduce clutter and keep the Drive workspace clean as new projects are started. Learn more about the Drive and Private workspaces.
