Now that Google has opened up its business - focused Workspace suite to everyone , there are some new Google Drive features . But as with every move , sometimes things get busted along the way .
Google announced it ’s release a security update that may affect some Drive file . The connectedness will be update with a “ imagination key ” that will make them more secure , but will postulate newfangled file accession requests in some berth . Once the update goes live , you may only access certain Drive files via a link with a resource key attached to it .

This security update is being apply to some file in Google Drive to make sharing link more secure . The update will add a resource cay to sharing link . Once the update has been applied to a file cabinet , users who have n’t see the file before will have to use a URL turn back the resource cay to gain accession , and those who have viewed the filing cabinet before or have direct access will not want the imagination Francis Scott Key to get at the file .
It’sunclearwhether both private and public file will be affected by this change . For representative , if you ’re a part of a monumental file meant for public phthisis via Google Docs or Google Forms , it ’s unclear if you ’ll have access to it when the update is live . I ’m part of a Google Doc where someone compiled a monolithic leaning of every usable Sailor Moon lineup secrete by Bandai in the ‘ 90 . I do hope this news program gets to the original owner of that Google spreadsheet !
Theupdatewill apply to all Workspace users beginning Sept. 13 , and you have until then to revise your links . If you ’re part of an system , the migration over to the fresh link - share-out protocol will trust on your administrator or IT section head , who has until July 23 to apply the update manually . For everyone else , Google will start to send out electronic mail poster start July 26 about any of your Google Drive files that may be touch on , along with resources on how to update them .
