| Google launches an update to make file sharing less confusing |
Google announced Tuesday that it will launch an update to the app's permissions window: (documents), cloud storage (readers), and forms. The update aims to reduce file sharing clutter.
If you click the "Share" button after using this update, a pop-up window will clearly distinguish between the people you want to share files with via the contact search directory or colleagues and the permissions available for the link.
The previous shared window has two options in the same window with duplicate copy links and a "Get Get Shared Link" button. There is also a drop-down menu where you can change the permissions of the editing function to restrict it. Show only.
The new update becomes more apparent when a user chooses who they want to share with and then asks them to click the Permissions window to indicate who actually has access. There will also be a clear difference between sharing with individuals and sharing with groups.
