This video helped me so much! Thank you for posting it! I am a senior citizen who doesn't have a lot of skill with technology. You have made this subject easy to understand. Well done!
Fully agree with the comment below. Excellent presentation. Clear, professional, well-paced, perfect examples, logical sequencing of things to know. Can't imagine a better tutorial and thank you Stephen for making learning so pleasant and easy. A++
Thank you, Stephen; I learned just what I was looking for and more. In my humble opinion, this video is a perfect example of mastery in the art of video production. Your presentation was concise and covered all of the key elements one needs to know to get the most out of this Google Drive function. In addition, your use of the cursor effects made sure we knew exactly what you were doing within the Google Drive platform. I wish everyone providing instruction online created videos as well thought out, scripted, storyboarded, and edited as yours!
Best tutorial ever,, You should make more tutorials with hard things like Blogspot templet edit of e-commerce and more!!!! Yeah and also windows secret thingy and problems!!!!!!! Again Love from Bangladesh-------------
Great video, learned a lot there. I have two questions. Let’s say somebody has shared a file with me and I want to put it in their folder on my Google Drive, do I just right click the shared file/folder and create a shortcut to their folder? The other question, let’s say I am creating a new folder to share with somebody. I am wondering if I download and upload various folders from my drive to the new shared folder will the original folder change if I give them editor access or do I need to open and make a copy of each file so the original folder remains untouched? Thanks man!
To get access you have to add user email manually. Is it possible to create api key/form when the user after once fill get automatic access to that file on my drive?
Very helpful! I have two questions - 1. Do I have the option to share a file publicly (anyone on the internet) for a specified time frame? 2. Can I delete a file that was publicly shared, such that it is no longer accessible to anyone on the internet?
Hey Priyanka- unfortunately, there are no settings for time limit in Google Drive. With regards to deleting a file that was once shared- once it's shared publicly, there is no way to tell how many people downloaded the file, saved it locally to their computer, distributed it further online, etc. Sorry I don't have better news for you!
Very helpful! I have a question..In a share file with many people with editing access. If I want to take one of the documents to edit and then put it back when I am done with editing, so that the other people can see/track all the steps that did take. How to do that?
Great question - for Google Docs, Slides, and Sheets files, you can see the version history by going to: File >> Version History >> See version history. There, you can track all the changes made to the document since it was first created. You can also follow the steps in this video to create a video tutorial, if you want to go more in-depth with your steps: czcams.com/video/wxOakPo4ZBk/video.html
Hello so I’m trying to send videos back and forth with my editor and my space is filling up so I can’t send more videos how can we send videos back and forth
Hi hello great info question do know why google drive blocks wen type to use it in web storage xplore file manager any help to would he really help full thank you and keep up the great work
Thank you so much. This is still new to me. Now, I have to search for your video on how to share words documents to words doc i.e. with tables in the words documents, and is it autosaved when I edit any documents that are being shared with me? Thanks a lot
Hey Sharifah- if I understand your question properly, any changes you make in Google Docs (to both Google Docs as well as Word Docs) will be saved automatically in the cloud. However, I recommend you save a copy of any Word Docs first as a Google Doc file, then make your changes in the Google Doc version of that file. I hope that helps, let me know if I can clarify.
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm already familiar with some of the things you explained here actually. I was just wondering. I'm beginning to use this for my students when I give them writing drill using google doc share; is there a way we can limit the time for them to edit a shared document? I want to manage my time well in class. Thanks for your response.
very well explained.. thank you. I wanted to send the google worksheet to a group of students so that they can solve it. However, i do not want the original document to have any changes. Is that possible? Can the doc that i send out to say 5-6 people be still saved in it's original form in my drive? can i still receive the edited form of the docs from each of them separately?
Hello Stephen! I'm having trouble accessing the google drive link sent by my professor in my yahoomail. everytime I'm opening the shared link from my mail I couldn't upload my files on it and theres no options to upload as well. how I wish you could help me for he gave me the final submission till tomorrow only. THANK YOU
Hey Raychell- simply follow the same steps but do it in your Google Drive on the folder. Right-click the folder, select Share, then set your permissions.
Trying to put a google slides presentation on my students schoology page and it will not share audio in presentation without requesting access, how can i avoid that. is their a setting within the slide I need to click. I have choosen editor within sharing link that doesn't work. I am not sure if I am just not sharing it the right way
Hi Heidi- thanks for your patience here. Check out this video on Audio Permissions in Google Slides, it may help: czcams.com/video/Zk-hPeevwR8/video.html&lc Basically, the permission settings for the audio file need to be as public as possible (you can accomplish this by ensuring the folder the audio is in is set to "Anyone with the link" permissions). Let me know if this helps or if you're still having issues, happy to help!
Sir,is there any way to block the spammers/unknown people sharing the files docs unnecessary to me? I am sending this because I am receiving 7-8 shared files daily that I don't want to be shared. I don't even know from which site they get my email id? Thank you.🙏
That was a great video. But I want to know one thing, what if the secondary user made some changes in the document and is not able to recover the text. Is it possible for the primary user to recover the text in the same file from his side???? Please reply this is really important 🥺🥺
I was wanting help about me I had in my email it says promotions and I clicked on it and it says something about Facebook and some things but I don't want to given promotion for that and can you help me and thank you very much.
Hello. I have a question . Is there any option to not copy the link i shared him through gmail.. I have shared them with g-mail but they can copy the file link from the web address bar any they are sharing my file without wanting me to so how do i fix the problem that only the person i shared can only view the file no download,no copy link from the web address bar, no sharing??
Hey Tuffstein- there's no option like that. You'll have to set the document (or file) access to "Restricted" and then specify the email addresses in the list of people you want to have access. If you do it this way and they try to share the link, the recipient won't be able to open the document (or file). Have you tried it this way already?
@@StephenKwiecinski yeah, tried so. But i don't share the link. I share them through gmail then they copy the link from there and share others, and the others copy the link and download the file from thirdparty video downloaders, they don't need to click the link so.
@@tuffstein5711 Hmm, interesting. Getting around any third-party software is a pain, smart people make sneaky workarounds. Sorry you're having trouble (and sorry I can't be more help here).
Hi sir. Thank you for the info. I made a google drive and shared it to my colleagues but the problem is i changed my name as a contributor which supposed to be an editor since it is my drive. How can I do it again?
Does it still say you're the document owner? If no, check with the new owner to see if they can update the permissions. If yes, will it not let you change your own permissions?
My question is... if you’ve already shared a folder and made changes to the labels or added more files to specific folder will the people whom I give permission to see those changes automatically or do I need to resend invites each time I make any changes
Hey Stacy- as long as you shared the outer-most folder and didn't make any permission changes to the items inside the folder, then your changes should be visible to everyone without you having to reshare. Hope that makes sense!
Yes - the files will always "live" on the Drive of the owner/document creator, but is accessible by anyone you share permissions with. If you're the owner of a Drive subscription plan (i.e. 2TB) and you want to share the space with others, that's a bit more complicated (you have to add people to your list of Family members in your Google account settings, but this give people access to ALL your files, depending on the level of permission - more info on that here: support.google.com/googleone/answer/9004015?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid)
I want to transfer ownership of a file from my school account to my DOE account, which is a different domain. Apparently this can't be done. I send a COPY of the file from my school account to my DOE account but I can't edit or post the file when I open it in my DOE account. When I click on the copied file, I'm switched back to my school account where I still can't edit or post. Also there is no "Advanced' button to be clicked on.
Hi, does someone know how to change the editor/ownership of a folder in google drive after sending the link to Google Classroom? I want to add some files in my created folder, but then I cannot after turning in the link in our google classroom. Can someone pls help me or enlighten me? hehe
Nice presentation but this didn't answer my question. I have a file i want to share with the general public without restricting access to the file, how do i do that?
You can right click the file, select Share, select "Change to anyone with the link", then copy and share the link. Anyone should be able to access the file after you've completed those steps.
I have sent a Google Drive Link to an Associate. My Associate CAN open the link and see the two Main Folders with all sub-folders and files. Good so far. Now, she would like to be able to download the two folders onto her desktop. I "Believe" that I have given her Editor Permission, but we can not seem to download. Does she need to have a Google Drive Account of some sort? I do not believe that she has one. OR should she simply be able to download the folders onto her desktop. If this is the case, I suspect that I am not giving her the appropriate permission.
Hello Stephen, I want to create a google doc and share it with students as a fillable document that they can all add to, but I don't want them to have the ability to change or delete the original text and questions in the table. Just have the ability to respond to the questions. Is there a way to do this Stephen? Thanks very much!
Hey Fozieh- Google Docs might not be the right tool for this instance. Try Google Forms instead (each user can input their own answers without changing or seeing other answers).
Without tracking which files you shared with whom, it's hard to know for sure. But if you have a rough idea of which documents you shared and you want to see the changes, check out this Google article for more info: support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308986?hl=en
Hi Lori- this depends if you're using gmail for work / school or for personal use. Work / school accounts usually place restrictions on sharing with outside, non-gmail accounts. Personal accounts are allowed to share with non-gmail users- take a look here at Step 2 for instructions: www.linkedin.com/business/learning/blog/productivity-tips/share-a-google-doc-with-a-non-google-user#:~:text=To%20change%20the%20settings%2C%20open,it%20to%20'Can%20edit'.
Hey Gary - a couple questions: Is the viewer trying to view a Google Slides Presentation or a PowerPoint Presentation within Google Drive? Is the audio file that's used in the presentation in a shared folder on your Google Drive? If no, you'll need to copy the audio file to a folder the viewer has access to, then relink the audio in the presentation to the audio file in the shared folder. I recommend putting both the presentation file and the audio file in the same folder, then linking the audio file. I hope this helps - please keep me posted.
@@StephenKwiecinski Google slides. I was even instructed to re-record VO for slides using Screencastify which I downloaded and used. That didn't change permissions though. It made it easier to get the audio onto the slideshow but I still had to hunt through and give permissions. then when the students started to view on their own I got the dreaded "This audio file is popular and reached its play quota. Try again later.
@@Aditya-sq9wi Yep - just open Google Drive, select the options for the document you want to change, select Share & Export, then select Manage People And Links, then update your sharing settings (set to Restricted).
@@StephenKwiecinski I tried and sent to my other mail id still the download option is available, I request you to make a video on it how to do it from android mobile
You could use this method to sync two accounts (1 Drive, 1 Dropbox): www.bettercloud.com/monitor/the-academy/how-to-add-google-drive-files-to-dropbox/ if you're transferring outside your own account to someone else's private account, the best way would be to download the files from Drive first, them upload them to Dropbox.
@@StephenKwiecinski that seems like the right solution. Honestly I just decided to sign up for Dropbox and either cancel after a month or cancel my drive after a couple of months. I don’t need 3tb In memory. Such a high end job but photographer i shot for uses Dropbox thanks for the help
Hey A M- you'll need to go back in the Share settings and simply change the permissions (either by removing the email addresses you want to unshare with, or turning off Link Sharing).
Thanks for the feedback. There are probably other videos that show the method you described - see the comments below, some people needed and appreciated the full explanation.
Great question, I had to do some research. Looks like this is NOT available in the free version of Google Drive but IS available on the paid version (GSuite) - the permission you would set is "Collaborator" in that case.

Hey Gary - a couple questions:

Is the audio file that's used in the presentation in a shared folder on your Google Drive? If no, you'll need to copy the audio file to a folder the viewer has access to, then relink the audio in the presentation to the audio file in the shared folder. I recommend putting both the presentation file and the audio file in the same folder, then linking the audio file.
I hope this helps - please keep me posted.
@@StephenKwiecinski Google slides. I was even instructed to re-record VO for slides using Screencastify which I downloaded and used. That didn't change permissions though. It made it easier to get the audio onto the slideshow but I still had to hunt through and give permissions. then when the students started to view on their own I got the dreaded "This audio file is popular and reached its play quota. Try again later.
You soft like Agent 47
could they make it more simple????
Hey JB - can you give me some more information on what you're having trouble with? Happy to help!
Please tell me how to disable the download option from my Google drive link which I share to my friends
Once shared, the only way to prevent download is to update the permission on your file so it's private.
@@StephenKwiecinski can I do with my mobile
@@Aditya-sq9wi Yep - just open Google Drive, select the options for the document you want to change, select Share & Export, then select Manage People And Links, then update your sharing settings (set to Restricted).
@@StephenKwiecinski I tried and sent to my other mail id still the download option is available, I request you to make a video on it how to do it from android mobile

Can you send your folder to someone else’s. Dropbox?
You could use this method to sync two accounts (1 Drive, 1 Dropbox): www.bettercloud.com/monitor/the-academy/how-to-add-google-drive-files-to-dropbox/
if you're transferring outside your own account to someone else's private account, the best way would be to download the files from Drive first, them upload them to Dropbox.
@@StephenKwiecinski that seems like the right solution. Honestly I just decided to sign up for Dropbox and either cancel after a month or cancel my drive after a couple of months. I don’t need 3tb In memory. Such a high end job but photographer i shot for uses Dropbox thanks for the help

How to unshare ?
Hey A M- you'll need to go back in the Share settings and simply change the permissions (either by removing the email addresses you want to unshare with, or turning off Link Sharing).
Why not just show how to share the email way and then the link way. You made it so complicated a newbie be trying to figure why 2 folders.
Thanks for the feedback. There are probably other videos that show the method you described - see the comments below, some people needed and appreciated the full explanation.
I can't see any advanced options 🙄
Your school or business may have them disabled. Check with the IT dept.

Can you give a person the ability to edit a file/folder but NOT delete it?
Great question, I had to do some research. Looks like this is NOT available in the free version of Google Drive but IS available on the paid version (GSuite) - the permission you would set is "Collaborator" in that case.
Going through tNice tutorials right now
