Google Drive allows the flexibility to share and collaborate on information quickly and easily. There are several share settings as well as permission levels within Google Drive. By default the items you create within Google Drive are not shared with anyone. However, by clicking the share button on any document or folder, or publishing a document to the web, users have a variety of option on how they share the document.

***This feature, while powerful, could also be dangerous if a user were to put out sensitive information on documents that are share publicly. We ask users to be mindful of what they share in Google Docs. Users at Knox College receive a BetterCloud digest of public documents through their email so they can adjust the share settings if needed. Users are asked to look at the documents to ensure they are not sharing sensitive information. Users who need assistance with the features of Google Drive are asked to come to the ITS monthly training sessions. ***
