When sharing a file or folder you will be presented with a number of ‘Link settings’ options, as seen here. Use ‘Specific people’ to ensure that only named users you specify will have access to the data being shared. You can also choose if they have read-only access, or if editing is allowed.
Be careful not to overshare. For example, ‘People in Fleming College with the link’ means that any Fleming user with the URL can access the document. This is useful for publishing an internally shareable link, but beware that the link URL address can be given to others beyond your control.
