Be Careful with Sharing
Moving a file or folder from a shared
folder into My Drive (or any other
folder) is a move and not a copy, so the
moved content is removed from the shared
folder. Questions?
Shared Documents can be Renamed
If you want it: File - Make a

Shared with me is not a folder, so you can safely move
a top-level item from Shared with me to My Drive and
it won't affect anyone else (as you're not moving
anything out of a folder). However, if you click into
a folder in Shared with me and then drag an item from
the folder into My Drive, that item will no longer be
in the folder (for you or anyone else).
