Drive Visibility–First decide WHO you want to see your file/folder.
Visibility Level 1–Private: This file is for you and you only. Simple.
Visibility Level 2–Invite only: The file/folder can only be accessed by an invitation sent to a specific email address. Only the email address recipient can access the file/folder.
Visibility Level 3–Anyone with a link: Anyone with the custom URL can access the file/folder. Nothing prevents this link (via email or text message) being shared with people you don’t desire or don’t know.
Visibility Level 4–Anyone on the Web: The file/folder can be seen and found by ANYONE on the Internet. This is most often used with public websites.
