Sharing+Google+Docs

What is the best way to share Google Docs?
Google Docs, Sheets and Slides are great collaboration tools. Multiple people can edit the same document at the same time. And when the doc is ready to be published, just share it with the right people. Google Docs are ideal tools for authoring student papers and presentations, and they are much easier to use than Microsoft products.

However, sharing Google Docs may be a little tricky because many people have multiple email addresses and you never know which one they are using for their Google Account. Some instructors even have created a special Google account just to communicate with students. So the ideal solution for sharing files is to share it publicly using the "anyone with the link" option. This is very safe since it is unlikely someone will see your document unless you email them a "secret" link.

Here's how to do it:

1. Click the SHARE link on the upper right, then click GET SHAREABLE LINK:

2. Choose the option ANYONE WITH THE LINK CAN VIEW (or EDIT if you prefer)

3. Copy/paste the "secret" link into your email and send

4. After clicking DONE, confirm that the option you chose by mousing over the SHARE button:
