Anyone with a link to your Google Sheets

Question

What does "anyone with a link" mean on Google Sheets?

Answer

You can give other people a link to your file so that you don't have to add email addresses when you share your file.

  1. Click Share (green button on the top right of the screen)
  2. In the bottom right select Change. This will allow you to choose if people must be in a specific group and have the link to access the sheet
  3. When you share a link to a file, you can control how widely the file is shared
    1. Restricted - Only people added can open with this link 
    2. The University of South Dakota - Anyone in the group with this link can view
    3. Anyone with the link - Anyone on the internet with this link can view

At the bottom right, click Copy Link and paste the link in an email or any place you want to share it.
