how to help users find files and stay organized in shared drives when uploading and creating files

I'm helping a client fix their disorganized Google drive use.

What they wish they could do is allow users to browse the files and folders inside well-organized shared drives to be able to find the correct place to upload or create new files in an organized way without necessarily giving them access to open all of the files. This isn't possible in Google Drive since the lowest role is reader (unless I'm missing something).

What's happening now is that when users are looking for an existing file, each time they go through their shared with me section, and when they create something new, they do it in their own drive and just share it with specific users.

Have others run into these issues? How do you help your users stay organized and use common shared drives instead of always scrolling through "shared with me" and creating their new files in their own drives?
