By Cleo Hall Last updated Sep 22, 2022

How to get the link for a google slide, If you need to make a document accessible to a wider audience but don’t have everyone’s email address, you can use this method instead. There is an option to restrict access to the link to just the people of Hampshire, or to make it public worldwide.

How to get the link for a google slide

Introduce a Google Doc, Sheet, or Presentation.
Locate the Share button in the upper right hand corner.
To share this with others, select the option to do so and then click “Get shareable link” in the upper right corner.
If you click the arrow down next to “Anyone with the link,” you’ll be able to specify who can see, comment on, and/or make changes to the file.
Please take note that the link is set to restrict access to users with valid Hampshire College email addresses. Select “More” from the drop-down menu that appears next to “Anyone at Hampshire College…” to allow access to anyone outside of the university.
Copies a link to the file to the clipboard. Copy and paste the URL into an email or online forum to spread the word.

Share a single item with specific people

Only use this approach if you have everyone’s email address (Hampshire or otherwise) to share with.

Introduce a Google Doc, Sheet, or Presentation.
Locate the Share button in the upper right hand corner.
To share with a specific person or Google Group, enter their email address under “People” in the “Share with others” box. You can find people you know in Hampshire by typing their names into the search bar.
Click the Down arrow next to the text box to specify the user’s level of access to the file, including whether they can only view it, make comments, or make changes.
Then, select the Finish button. A notification email will be sent to the individuals you chose to share the file with.

Sharing a Folder

Creating a shared folder or shared drive is highly recommended if you intend to collaborate with a group of individuals on a regular basis, such as within a department or for a class (see below). The contents of this folder will be immediately made available to all members of the team.

Create a folder

Check out drive.hampshire.edu.
Simply select New > Folder on the left.
You can give the folder a name by typing it in the appropriate field.
Select New.

Then, share the folder:

To access a Google Drive folder, click on its name. Select the Share tab at the top.
Helpful hint: select Share from the context menu when right-clicking the folder.
In the “Share with others” box, under “People,” enter the email addresses of the people or Google Groups you want to share with. For a quick search of your contacts, try putting a name into the search bar.
Set their permissions to “Can Edit.”

Shared Drives

Team members can upload, organise, and access their files from any location and any device thanks to the convenience of shared drives. Data stored in a shared drive does not belong to a single user like it does in My Drive. Your team can keep working together and sharing information even if some members depart, because the files won’t be moved.

Not sure whether to use My Drive or a shared drive?

Ask yourself these questions:

Is there enough interest among the project team members to warrant sharing the files?
Is there a unifying concept between the files?

If the answers to both of these questions are “yes,” then a new shared drive should be set up. You should set up many shared drives if the files are for different projects.

Changing ownership of a file or folder

You can make someone else the “owner” of a file or folder if you want them to be responsible for it. The file’s owner can remove it, restrict who can see it, and set who can access it.

How to change owners

You can change who owns a file or folder in Drive.

Visit the main page for Drive or one of the individual apps for using with it: Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
Initiate the conversation by clicking the “Share” button:
- The plot of Drive: To share a file or folder, simply navigate to it and click the “share” button.
- For the Google Docs, Sheets, or Presentations dashboard: To send the file to others, open it and then click the Share button.

If the new owner has access to the editing functions. If that’s not the case, try these measures:

In the “Invite individuals” area, enter the new owner’s email address.
Select the Save and Share option.

In the bottom right of the sharing box, select Advanced.
To make a specific individual the owner of a file or folder, select their name from the drop-down option.
Please select Is owner. When you are finished, please click the button..

Transferring ownership to or from a non-Hampshire Google account

Some of us may have Google files that pertain to Hampshire that are “owned” by individual accounts. Having your Hampshire account serve as the legal owner of these things is a recommended action. While ownership transfers between Hampshire College accounts are permitted, no such transfers are permitted to or from accounts held at institutions outside of Hampshire College. The current remedy consists of downloading all of your files from your personal account to your PC and then re-uploading them while signed into your Hampshire account.
