Service Notes

Sharing is an important aspect of Google Drive. It is important to understand how Sharing works:

    • You can share files and folders.

    • When you share a folder all files inside the folder are shared.

    • With sharing you can allow others to view, comment, or edit the documents.

    • Different people can have different access.

    • Every file in Google Drive has a unique URL that can be shared.

    • Unless you configure “Offline” Access you will need an internet connection to access your Google Drive files.
