You can manage access to Google files and folders by adjusting the sharing settings. Follow these steps:

  1. Access Sharing Settings:

    • Right-click on the file or folder in Google Drive.

    • Click on Share, and a new window will appear with sharing options.

  2. Adjust Access for Specific Individuals:

    • Enter the email addresses of collaborators.

    • Assign their access level as Viewer, Commenter, or Editor, depending on their needs.

  3. Set General Access Preferences:

    • At the bottom of the sharing window, choose one of the following:

      • Restricted: Most secure; only individuals with explicitly added email addresses can access.

      • Designity: Anyone with a Designity email can access.

      • Anyone with the link: Least secure; anyone with the link can access.

By carefully managing these settings, you can control who has access to sensitive files and ensure appropriate levels of security.
