Confusing-Sharing
OD4B seems to get more confusing by the day. I am now presented with 'sharing' and 'get a link'. Not exactly sure what the difference is. However when I choose share and 'can edit' and then select a ...
To share with just one person, press the share button and enter the person's name - then hit share and you're done.
The "get a link" is there for a more convenient way to be able to get access to the file, regardless if the audience is an individual or a group.
The main difference is that if you choose to share the file individually and that person wants someone else to access it - they have to come back to you to share it to that other person. Whereas the "get a link" method means anyone can simply pass the link around to others without involving you.

I just tried again and when I select a file and select 'share' I am presented with the dialog box below. I shared with one person (user5) but it still states anyone with this link can edit. I am assuming that behavior got set somewhere else and I now need to change this every time prior to sharing? It's not a big deal to change it but if I accidently forget, I have, in effect, shared the file for editing with anyone who gets the link correct?
