There are three methods for sharing files within Drive .
1.
Directly from the Drive content list you can simply right-click on a file or folder and select
Share.
2.
You can also share an entire folder by either right-clicking on the folder in the Drive content list or clicking on the small arrow next to the folder in the left-hand sidebar menu and selecting Share .
3.
Lastly, you can also share an individual document from within the editing window.
In any of the methods above, you will need to locate the individuals you wish to share with and specify their level of rights. Within the dialog box for sharing, you will need to search and locate each individual by name. Simply start to type an individual’s name and selectable options will begin to appear.
Carefully select the individual from the pop-up list and then select their level of rights ( can edit, can comment, can view ). Once you have selected/populated the list with the individual(s) you wish to share the file or folder with, verify your list.
Make sure you deselect the “ Notify people via email ” if you do not want each person on the list to receive an email that the document has shared. To finish sharing, click the Share and Save button.
