Last updated on January 3, 2025

Sharing files or folders in Google Drive is a quick and flexible way to collaborate. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Open Google Drive: Navigate to Google Drive and locate the file or folder you want to share.
  2. Right-Click and Select “Share”:
    • Right-click on the item and choose “Share.” Alternatively, click the file and select the share icon at the top.
  3. Adjust Sharing Settings:
    • Add specific people: Enter our email address ([email protected]) to grant access and set permission level to Editor.
    • Generate a link: Click “Copy link” and set access to Restricted (specific people only) or Anyone with the link (no sign-in required).
  4. Set Permissions for the Link:
    • Use the drop-down menu next to the link to assign Viewer, Commenter, or Editor roles.
  5. Share the File or Folder:
    • Click “Copy link” to send us the link via email or the in-portal messaging service.

Pro Tip:

For maximum accessibility, ensure the link permissions are set to “Anyone with the link” if no sign-in is required. Always double-check permissions before sharing sensitive files.

That’s all! Your file or folder is ready to collaborate seamlessly.
