MAKE GOOGLE DRIVE FILE LINK AVAILABLE TO ANYONE

Google Drive’s public link feature allows you to share files with anyone, regardless of whether they have a Google account. Learn how to make your Google Drive file links public and start sharing files with ease!

1. First of all, go to your “Google Drive” app and click on it.

2. And the Google Drive interface will appear.

3. We will first of all try to see how we can share a particularly file to some body. When you look at the Google Drive interface you will see some files there. So, we will go ahead and click on the first one.

4. Then, right-click on the particular file you just selected, and a dropdown menu will appear.

5. On the menu drop down, click on “share”.

7. After loading, a message box will appear.

8. Then click on the search button and type in the receiver’s (the person you are sending the file to) email address. You can add so many email address if you want, but that will be too tedious.

9. Once you are done entering the email address, then click “Send” on the message box.

10. But, in a situation where you have send  this file to so many people, then the previous step we just learnt will be rather stressful and time consuming. So, alternatively, go to your file in which you want to share and click on it.
