In short
- Pick an expiry: 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or never.
- Add a password, and choose view only or download.
- Turn a link off and it stops working at once.
Create a link
Open a document, go to the Sharing tab and choose Create link. Set when it expires and, if you like, a password. Share the password separately from the link.
Options
Allow download is off by default, so recipients view the document in the browser. You can add a watermark and apply your redactions.
See who opened it
The document’s Activity tab shows when a link was opened. You can also get a notification when someone opens it, in Settings › Notifications.
Turn a link off
Press Turn off next to the link. Recipients then see “This link is no longer available”.
