Sharing A Document in Google Drive

 

A drive account can be linked to any email address.We recommend creating a new / separate gmail address  specifically for your project with a corresponding Drive to "own" the files. You may share access to your project's Drive with your personal gmail address / drive (files will be accessible under "Shared with me" and in any folder you assign them to).  

​

1. Go to Drive.google.com. In the top right profile icon, make sure you have selected and / or added and logged into your project's account.

2. At the top left select the "New" button and choose "File upload."

3. Select file from browser.

4. After the file uploads, click on it to open.

5. From the top right menu, select "Share" 

6. In the pop-up window, enter the emails as specified in instructions.

7. Select "Can edit" in the dropdown if it is not a view-only document ("Can view").

8. Selected the "Advanced" link in the bottom right of pop-up window.

9. If this is a private document (such as a contract), in the new window, under "Who has access," make sure it says "Private - Only you can access." If not, click "change" and select "Off - Specific people" and save. 

10. In the previous menu, make sure "notify people" is selected.
