Part 2. Understand how files are shared on Google Drive. There are essentially two different ways that you can share a file that you've uploaded to your Drive: you can share it with specific Drive users, or you can generate a link that anyone can use to access the file. Right-click on the file and select "Share". This will open the file sharing menu. Enter contacts into the "People" field to share with specific users.
You can type in names from your Google contacts or add email addresses. Email invitations are sent to each person that you add.
If the recipient is not a Google Drive user, they will be invited to create a free account. Change the permissions by clicking the "Can edit" button. You can change this to "Can comment" or "Can view". In order to be able to download the file, the user will need to have "Edit" or "View" permission. Click the "Get shareable link" button to create a link that can be sent to anyone.
If you're sharing with people who don't use Google Drive, or want to share the file with strangers, you'll need to generate a shareable link. Anyone with this link will be able to see and download the file from your Google Drive account. Copy and paste the link into an email or chat and send it to your desired recipients.
Like the other method of sharing, you can adjust the permissions for people that access your file through the shared link. You can send more than one file at a time, and there are no restrictions on your file size with DropSend. The recipient will receive an email with the download link. If you receive a file from another DropSend user, the files will simply appear in your DropSend Inbox.
