Change to Default Drive Sharing in U-M Google Mail

April 19, 2018

U-M Google Mail is a convenient way to share files in Google Drive. If the email recipients do not have access to the linked files, you will get a message asking if you want to change the file’s sharing permissions. Until now, the default recommendation was to let anyone at the University of Michigan with the link view the file. To increase privacy, that default will soon change to recipients of this email can view the file. This share setting can still be changed from the default on each email.
