  • Question
    When I share a document, does it only share that one document?

    Yes, you must set permissions on each document to allow it to be seen and/or edited by others. Sharing a document does not change personal permissions on any other documents.

    If you are looking for the document you shared from your account, it doesn't move. It stays in your Google Drive. If you are looking for a document someone shared with you, then go into Google Drive and click on the side "Shared with Me".

    Google Documents that are shared to you to edit will allow owners to see current edits.

    If you have shared the Google Doc from a link, it will be permanent unless you adjust the privacy settings.
