To copy the link to a file without creating new permissions, simply copy the link from the address bar of your browser. Anyone who is signed in will be able to view or edit the file (depending on permissions). 

If a sharing link is necessary, follow these steps:  

  1. Click the three dots on a file and click Copy Link. There will be a pop up shortly after that says “Link copied.”
