The purpose of this thesis was to design and develop a piece of software to improve Google Drive shared folders in organizational use. The main reason why the topic was chosen, is that organizations that use Google Drive as a centralized data storage are especially vulnerable to a potentially vast amount of work in case of an accidental deletion of items. The thesis proposes the design and development of software which monitors shared folders and sets file ownerships to one centralized user to allow an easy way to restore files to a shared folder which is monitored. The software was designed and developed in the agile development method, which allowed and encouraged the requirement specification to change during the development phase. A finished product was designed, developed and tested in a timeframe of nine months, and the software is in active pilot use on 11 shared folders of various organizations.
