Sharing+Files+and+Folders

How to Share a Google Document, Presentation, or Folder There are two ways to share your work through Google Drive:
 * 1) Through the document/presentation:
 * 2) When you are working on a document or presentation, you will see a blue square in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. This button says “Share.”
 * 3) Click on the blue “Share” button.
 * 4) A box will pop up called “Sharing settings.”
 * 5) Towards the bottom of the box, you will see “Invite people:” and below that is a box that says, “Enter names, email addresses, or groups…”
 * 6) In that box, start typing the name(s) of the person/people you want to share the file with. If they are in Craven County, their names should automatically appear. If they are not in Craven County, you will need to type in their email address.
 * 7) To the right of the box, there is a drop down menu in blue font. This is important!
 * 8) If you want the people you are sharing the file with to be able to make changes to the file, select “Can edit.” *Note: This is the default setting, so if you do not want people to make changes to your document, make sure to change it!
 * 9) If you do not want people to make changes, but you want them to be able to leave comments, then choose “Can comment.”
 * 10) If you only want people to be able to see your file, the choose “Can view.”
 * 11) Once you have included all the people you want to share the document/presentation with, click the green “Share & save” button
 * 12) After creating a document, presentation, or folder:
 * 13) If you have already created and closed out the file and want to go back and share it with someone, then right click on the file.
 * 14) Hover over “Share” and then click “Share” in the new menu box that pops up.
 * 15) Now, follow steps a-g above.
