Something to consider trying if you use Google Apps for Education in your School: Get the Doctopus add-on for Sheets. It will create Student folders for everyone in your roster that is automatically shared with you. I have students create within that folder a folder for each chapter which is automatically shared with me. They put their Alice file into that folder. When I am in my Google Drive I go to a folder that has all of those student folders and get the Alice file and it opens when I right click and download it. Saves a ton of time!

I place the "shared" folders in a central location on my google drive to make them easy to find (and rename folders for those who cannot or will not follow instructions.) Students upload all completed work to their folder on drive and I am able to easily run, check, and provide feedback on their work. This also eliminates the multiple instances of submitted assignments created by google classroom when files are returned for revision.
