Sharing a File with Anyone from Google Drive

When using Google Drive there are times when you need to share a file with someone outside the company.  The simplest way to do this is via link sharing.  A sharing link can be found on the "Share" menu from the top right on the file.  

If you just want people to view the file but NOT edit then keep the access settings to "Can View".  Otherwise, follow along to create a link to a file that can be modified by anyone that gets the link.  WARNING:  Do NOT use the feature with personal, sensitive or confidential information as there is no restriction on who can open the file and view/save the content.  This should only be used for files that are free to share among anyone that gets ahold of the link.
