How to share a file securely
PURPOSE
Secure file sharing helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
BEFORE SHARING
Confirm the file is appropriate to share, remove unnecessary sensitive information, and verify the recipients.
USE THE RIGHT ACCESS
Use view-only access when editing is not required. Give the least access needed.
LINK SETTINGS
Prefer links limited to specific people instead of public or anyone-with-link access.
BEST PRACTICE
Remove access when the file is no longer needed.
