You will see a confirmation message that the link has been copied successfully. Step 5: Finally click on the blue “Copy link” button. Click on this drop-down menu and select appropriate access rights for the receiving user. Step 4: A new drop-down menu will appear in front of the “Anyone with the link” option.

Step 1: Launch Google Drive and right-click on the file you want to share. To use this method follow the following step-by-step procedure. The link itself serves as the secret key and anyone with the link can access the shared file per the access rights you have set for the file. This method is somewhat similar to the first method as you are still sharing a link but in this method, you first copy the link to the file and then send it to the intended user through any communication method you prefer (such as email, SMS, or an instant message). ![]() Step 8: The receiving user will receive an email with a link to the shared file and when he/she clicks on the link or the blue “Open” button, the shared file will open in a new browser tab.

Step 6: Lastly click on the blue “Send” button. Step 5: Next click on the “Editor” button (that’s by default) to get the drop-down box to select the type of access rights you want to grant to the receiving user. Step 4: Check the checkbox in front of the “Notify people”, and type any information in the text box below regarding the shared file if any. Step3: In the text box below the “Share with people and groups” type the email of your non-Gmail contacts you want to share the file with. Step 2: In the context menu click on the “Share” option. ![]()
