Google adds shareable link to Drive

Google just included a new way to share Drive links to others. With the new update, you don’t need to specify the email address of the person you’re sharing the files to. This time you get the option to get the URL to share the file. It will be view-only by default but you can also change that to allow for editing. Of course, this also comes with a risk. Anyone with access to the link can then edit the file if they want to. It’s best to just share this with people you trust. The update is rolling out as we speak so it might take a few days or so before it gets to your accounts.
