Sharing documents via drive and email links is a convenient way to transfer files with others. Here's a detailed explanation of the status of these links:
Drive link:
A drive link is a temporary URL that points to a specific folder on your computer.
You can create a drive link to any folder on your computer, such as your Documents folder.
Once you share the drive link, others can access the folder directly from the web browser.
The status of the drive link can be checked in the File Explorer.
If the folder is shared with read-only access, the drive link will be disabled.
Email link:
An email link is a special email address that is used to share a specific file or folder.
You can create an email link from a file or folder on your computer.
When you share an email link, you will be providing a temporary web address where others can access the file.
The status of the email link can be checked in the "Sent Items" folder.
If the file is shared with read-only access, the email link will be disabled.
Status:
The status of a drive link and an email link can be displayed as either "Available" or "Shared".
When a link is shared, the status will be set to "Shared".
To check the status of a link, you can click on it and the file or folder that it points to will be displayed.
If the link is no longer available or shared, you can find the link again in the File Explorer or in the "Sent Items" folder.
Tips for sharing documents:
Choose a strong and descriptive name for your drive link or email link.
Make sure that you share the link with people you trust.
Avoid sharing links to sensitive or confidential documents.
You can also track the status of your drive link or email link in the Task Manager
