You can create a link to a file or folder in your Dropbox account to share it with others. When you share a file or folder via link, you can choose to give people with that link edit or view-only access. Learn how to manage your default sharing settings.
How to share ‘Make a copy’ links to your Google files with others
The Preview mode is different than the View option because it displays the document in an uncluttered interface without menu bars and buttons. For instance, you can share a Sheet or a Slide presentation to anyone outside your collaborating team.
You can share a Google document as a template. The recipient gets a clutter-free copy of your document minus the Google Drive menus. They can also make a copy of the document for their drive with a click on the blue Use Template button.
The above examples show that it is easy to tweak the shared URLs and access the files if your sharing permissions are not set with security in mind. Spend some time in managing your shared files in Google Drive and you won't have to worry about files falling into the wrong hands.
For instance, if you have a great lesson plan, hyperdoc, or choice board that you want to share with another teacher so they can make a copy and adapt it for their classroom, use the force a copy link.
Not sure if I understand your end goal, but if you just want them to make copy, you can make it public or anyone with the link. Then just share that new link with copy at the end and they will be prompted to make a copy.
By now, most GCSD users are familiar with the collaborative nature of Google docs. Most have probably also experienced a situation where you shared a doc that you didn't really want others to edit. It is also pretty common knowledge that to prevent that, you use a method called "Force Copy."
However, if a google doc has ever been shared with you via the "Force Copy" method, you probably also know that you don't get to see the doc before you decide to make a copy. There is another method, very similar to force copy, that does allow you to see what you are making a copy of called "Template Preview." Both are explained below.
When someone receives the link and clicks it, it will now open a preview of the document and give you the option in the upper right corner to "Use Template." If you choose to use the template, it will then open the doc, keep the original name (instead of "Copy of..."), and be saved in your google drive. Obviously, if you don't want to use the doc, you can simply click out of it, without the doc being saved in your drive.
You can quickly share a link to a PDF document with others for viewing or commenting. The document shared as a link opens in any browser, on any device. The document is stored securely in Adobe Document Cloud. Recipients get an email with a link, and they can click the link to view and comment on the document in a browser; no sign-in required.
When you share a folder, only the participants can view the files in the shared folder. To invite more people to access the files, you must change the settings of the shared folder. You cannot select an individual file or folder within the shared folder and add participants to it.
Google Drive offers several sharing methods, some providing more security than others. As long as you share your Google Drive links through an email invitation rather than a shareable link, your Google Drive files are safe. However, the safety of your Google Drive link falls into the hands of the other person.
There are two ways to share links on Google Drive. The first option is link-based sharing, which allows anybody with the link to view and access your Google Drive file. The second option is invite-based sharing. This method allows you to share Google Drive links to specific individuals through their email addresses.
Link-based sharing is the quickest way to share Google Drive files with others. However, it also poses the most risk if misused. When you click Share and select Get link, you can then press Copy link. Once you copy the link to your clipboard, you can quickly paste and send it to people you want to share the Google Drive file with.
However, they can only view the link if you or the person you share the link with leaks the URL. For example, if you accidentally upload the shared link to a public forum, anybody would be able to access your Google Drive file. On the other hand, your Google Drive link is relatively secure if you send a sharing invite using an email invitation.
Another mistake people make when sharing Google Drive links is selecting the wrong permissions for the other user. For example, if you allow the other person to become an Editor, they can accidentally make changes to your file.
When you share from Google Drive, you can control whether people can edit, comment on, or view your file. ITS recommends using caution when you choose permissions for your files and folders in U-M Google Drive to ensure the privacy and security of university data. This is especially true when collaborating with people outside of U-M. You are responsible for appropriately sharing data with only those who should have access to it. This document provides best practices for sharing files and folders in Google Drive.
We recommend only sharing your files with those who need them. If the list of users grows too large, we recommend using an MCommunity group to help manage permissions. To learn more about using MCommunity with Google, refer to Google: Working with MCommunity Groups.
Shareable links can be used to share files with a broader audience or specific people. These links are accessible and customizable under General access in the sharing dialog box. When you click Copy link, a shared link is copied. Link sharing is useful for sharing non-sensitive files that require immediate attention or with large numbers of colleagues who need access to a file. If link sharing is used, this link is set to Restricted by default, so only people you've shared the file with can access the link.
When sharing with a non-Google account, we strongly recommend using visitor sharing. With visitor sharing, you can share items with non-Google accounts, enabling them to view, comment on, or edit content in Google Drive (My Drive and shared drives) and Sites using a secure PIN code. As a file owner, you can view detailed activity on your files and revoke access from the Drive sharing dialog at any time.
Note: Visitors can edit, comment on, or view your files for seven days after they verify their email address. After seven days, they will need to reverify using the original shared link in their email invite, so it's best to remind them to save the email!
Google Drive allows you to not only upload files for easy access from wherever you're signed into your Google account, but you can also upload and share photos, documents, and videos in a few simple steps.
Under "People" in the "Share with others" box, type the email address (Hampshire, or otherwise) of the person or Google Group you want to share with. Tip: Search for Hampshire contacts by typing a name in the box.
Shared drives are shared spaces where teams can easily store, search, and access their files anywhere, from any device. Unlike files in My Drive, files in a shared drive belong to the team instead of an individual. Even if members leave, the files stay exactly where they are so your team can continue to share information and get work done.
The easiest way to share a Google Doc, Slide, or Sheet is to use a little trick called Force a Copy. This enables you to share the activities and lessons you create with others without worrying about them accidentally editing something on your version. However, things get a little more complicated when you involve another tried and true Google product, the Google Form.
During a blog writing episode, I created a Google Form and I wanted to be able to share a copy of it without giving editing rights. Of course, I tried the same procedure one would use to Force a Copy of a Google Doc, Slide, or Sheet. That process is to replace the word EDIT in the URL with the word COPY. I was hoping this trick would work with a Google Form. But, NO, not happening. Do not despair! My colleague, Miguel Guhlin, shared five easy steps to make this magic happen.
How much customization will be required? If I am working with several organizations, each making changes, unless you have divided up the form into organization specific sections, you could see some editing conflicts (e.g. you make a change, I make another that destroys your change).
I am new to Google docs. A client created a survey in forms with questions. Responses are shown as pie charts. I have access to edit but she wants to keep the original with me making changes to some of the pie charts. When I make a copy, I only get the questions and it says Responses are closed. How can I get a copy of the survey as well as the charts?
Google Drive includes a built-in web viewer so people can view your shared files - from Microsoft Office documents to videos to AutoCAD drawings - directly in their browser. You can use this web viewer to view online files without having to download the files to your computer.
The direct download links for Google Slides is slightly different then Google Documents. Here replace /edit with /export/format where format can be pptx for downloading Google Slides as Microsoft Powerpoint files or PDF for exporting the presentation as a PDF slideshow.
The /copy URL trick works for Google Docs, Sheets, Slides and Google Scripts. Add ?copyComments=true if you would like the copied document to include the comments from the original document. Set includeResolvedCommentsOnCopy=false to skip copying resolved comments and copyCollaborators=false to not share the copied document with the original collaborators. 2ff7e9595c
