Otherwise, you can also add specific people to the file if youвЂ™d like to share it with individual users. You can change the status to вЂњCan Edit,вЂќ вЂњCan View,вЂќ or вЂњOffвЂќ (to unshare the file). If you want to change that, tap the eyeball/down arrow. The privacy will be set to вЂњAnyone with the link can viewвЂќ since thatвЂ™s the default action. The first thing here is Link share-since youвЂ™ve already shared this file, sharing will be On.

This section, вЂњWho Has AccessвЂќ, is where youвЂ™ll modify the fileвЂ™s shared settings. Scroll down just a bit, until you see the first sub-section after the file info. This time, however, tap the вЂњiвЂќ button on the right side of the file name. Instead, theyвЂ™re tucked away in the fileвЂ™s Drive menu.ДЄgain, navigate to the file you shared, then tap the three-dot menu button again.

Unlike on Windows or Chrome OS, these options arenвЂ™t directly available from the share dialog. Now that you have your shared link, youвЂ™re probably wondering where all the options are. Alternatively, you can select the вЂњCopy to clipboardвЂќ option if youвЂ™d rather just copy the link and share it manually. But you should be able to wing it from here-just choose the app you want to share the file in. Your Share Dialog box will probably look different than mine, because itвЂ™s curated based on your sharing history, installed apps, and so on. On Android, the share menu will show up, giving you a lot more options.

This is where the only real difference between Android and iOS happens: on iOS, the link is simply copied to the clipboard, so you can share it. Tap the three-dot button on the file, then tap вЂњShare link.вЂќ On iOS, this actually reads вЂњGet link.вЂќ Go ahead and open the Drive app, then navigate to the file you want to share.

IвЂ™m using an Android device for this tutorial, but the Drive app works basically the same way on both Android and iOS, so you should be able to follow along regardless of what platform youвЂ™re on. Because of that, weвЂ™re going to break this down into a couple of sections: generating the link, and controlling the shared link. If you need to build a link on a mobile device, the process is equally as simple-though the varying options are more hidden.

How to Generate a Share Link on Android and iOS The good news is that Google does most of the heavy lifting here, and the default sharing action is fairly private (your link is accessible by anyone, but only if they know the link), so you can quickly and efficiently share files. Yeah, thatвЂ™s a lot to kind of take in when all youвЂ™re doing is sharing a simple file.

Off: Only specific people can access the file.

They donвЂ™t have to sign in to their Google account to do so.

On (Link):В Anyone with the link can download it.

Anyone can search for, find, and download the file.

On (Public): This basically makes the file public.

ThereвЂ™s also a вЂњMoreвЂќ option at the very bottom, which allows you to change the general privacy settings for the file: This is the default action when you share a file, and the best option if youвЂ™re trying to share file for download.

Anyone with the link can view: Shared users can simply view the file, but canвЂ™t edit it in any way.

It allows shared users to leave comments if desired-this is great for team projects.

Anyone with the link can comment: Again, this is mostly for documents.

They still canвЂ™t delete it from your Drive, though-this is just for the contents of the file.

Anyone with the link can edit: This is more for documents and such, but this basically gives the shared users full read and write access.

Off:В If you accidentally shared the file, use this option to basically un-share it, making it private once again.

You can, however, change this setting using the dropdown menu directly above the link. When you generate a download link, it automatically allows the file to be viewed by anyone with the link. You can simply highly it, then copy and paste it into an email, chat message, or anywhere else.Д«ut thereвЂ™s still more control here. Once that option is enabled, the link will be populated. In the upper right corner of the Share Settings dialog box, thereвЂ™s a button that reads вЂњGet shareable link.вЂќ Click that. The first box that shows up will allow you to send the link to a specific email address-you can do that if youвЂ™d like, but since weвЂ™re talking about creating shareable links here, weвЂ™re going to go a couple of steps further. From there, everything else is basically the same. Note: On macOS and Chrome OS, there is no вЂњGoogle DriveвЂќ option-simply select вЂњShareвЂќ (on Chrome OS)В or вЂњShare using Google DriveвЂќ (on macOS).
