Share a Google Doc/Folder

You can easily share any Google doc and/or folder by modifying its Share settings in Google Drive.

• Right-click on the Google Drive file/folder you want to share. (Control - Click on a Mac) Select Share. 
• On the upper right of pop-up window, click on Get Shareable Link. 
• This will automatically copy the URL and change file/folder settings to Anyone with the link can view.

Note:

 If your organization is a Google school, the Get Shareable Link option will ONLY make the folder available to individuals in your district. In order to share with those outside your school, follow directions below.

• Open Share settings.
• Click on Advanced on lower right of pop-up window.   
• Under Who has access, click on Change.  
• Select On -Anyone with the link. Default access will be View only.
  -Access options include can Edit, can Comment, can View.

• Click on Save (or Done). 
• ​Right-click on a folder/doc (in list or grid view) to Get shareable link & copy URL. ​

Note:

The Share settings for a folder in Google Drive will automatically apply to all files in that folder unless you manually change them. So purposefully setting a folder's Share settings can be a time-saver.
