Step 6: If you want to remove a user from the list, simply open up the Sharing Settings dialog and click Remove from the drop-down list. When you're ready, click Copy Link and then the Done button. Notice that the top box will show users that have been specifically shared with, and the file properties pane will now show all users who have access to the file. You can change that to Commenter and Editor, but remember that anyone with the link will be able to make comments and changes if you deviate from the default. This will create a link that you can share with anyone, and it will default to Viewer. To do so, click on Change to Anyone With the Link in the lower box. Step 5: You can also create a link that anyone can access. You can allow or disallow editors from changing permissions and sharing options, and give download, print, and copy rights to viewers and commenters. Step 4: If you click on the Settings cog, you can further set your sharing options. Also, non-Gmail users don't have to log in to access a file, while Gmail users must do so. Note that if the recipient isn't using a Gmail account, you must click the Notify People checkbox. When you've set all of your options, you click the Send button if you want to notify the user or the Share button if you unclick that checkbox. You can set a user as a Viewer (can only view files), Commenter (can view and comment on files), or Editor (can view, comment on, and make changes to files). You'll then have the option to notify the user(s) of the share link and to change their permissions. Step 3: Select a user or type in an email address. You can also simply type in an email address. You can also type a name into the box and it will give you options from your Google Contacts list or recent email recipients. When you click on the box, you might get a list of recent email recipients to select from. In the top box, type a user into the Add People and Groups box. By default, Google assumes that you want to give access to specific users. Step 2: To share the file, you'll get a link to it that you can provide to other users to access the file. When you share it, you'll see a list of specific users who have access to the file. You'll notice in the file properties pane to the right that the file is currently not shared. Right-click on the file and select Share. Navigate to the location that contains the file you want to share.

You can share files and folders from Google Drive, and the process is the same for both.
