Send a Message When Sharing A Doc

Have you ever received a Google file and had no idea what it was or why you were getting it? Even more annoying can be a follow-up email explaining what the file is.

You can include an explanation when sharing the file.

When you share a file from Google Drive (Docs, Slides, Sheets, etc.), select the person or people you want to share with.

Then add a note.

For additional functionality, click the advanced link below the note for more options.
