When using Wellesley Gmail, you can attach files from your Google Drive. After you have selected the files to attach and click Send, you will see a prompt asking you to change the sharing of the file in Drive to “Anyone with the link”. By agreeing to this type of sharing, you are sharing the file with not only the recipients of the email, but anyone who has the link to the file. Google has acknowledged that this is not an ideal default. They now provide an opportunity to change the default setting to “Recipients of this email”, which is usually what the sender intends — we will implement this change on February 8. “Anyone with the link” is still available for those who wish to use it, but it will not be the default. Please let us know if you have any questions.
