Sharing options

  • Anyone with the link can view, comment, or edit: Anyone who has the link can access the file. Guests can share the file with someone else, and they won't need a Google Account to see it.
  • Guests of this event can view, comment, or edit: Shares the file with your guests. They need a Google Account to see the file. They can only share the file with someone else if you give them "Can edit" access.
  • Save without sharing: Guests who don't have access will see the title of the file, but they won't be able to open it.

Tips:

  • You can also open the file in the Google Drive app for other sharing options.

Troubleshooting

Guests don't have permission to find attachments
Attachments are stored in Google Drive, so your guests don't automatically have permission to view your attachments. To give your guests access to the files, you can share each file from Google Drive
"Adding attachments has been disabled by your domain administrator" message
If your work, school, or organization turns off Drive sharing, you find the "Adding attachments has been disabled by your domain administrator" message. If you find this message, contact your admin.
I can’t find "Add attachment"

If your Google Drive isn't linked to the Google Account you use to create the event, you won't find Add attachment Add attachment.

To fix this, make sure:

  • The documents you want to attach upload to Google Drive.
  • You sign in with the same account that you use for Google Drive.
