Steps on how to share a Google Drive file


1. To share a Google Drive document with others, start out in your Google browser.

Select Google apps


2. Select Drive

3. Select the file you wish to share, then select Share


4. You can share the file by typing a person's email, group name, or calendar event.

6. Select the appropriate Role


7. To share the document as a link, click Copy Link


8. Otherwise, click Done. An email will be sent to those added at the top
