File drops

Post by Zero » Wed Mar 28, 2018 10:23 am

If shared a pdf on the board I have in google drive, that only gives access to the specific file link I share, correct?

Altamirano: No, Señor Hontar. Thus have we made the world... thus have I made it.

I am not sure it will be anonymous, though. It might give us your google account name in some roundabout fashion (or even explicitly in the URL).

Turn link sharing on for the one document and get a shareable link.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1o7ZZZ ... FcFo_ggpvk

This is a shareable link from a blank spreadsheet on my drive.

Thanks, Kath. I share all the time via my school account, but have never shared anything on a public board. Just double checking. ;)

Yeah, but I pulled them down until I could verify permissions to publish the entirety of some academic articles/papers.
