Reference: Comparison of File Sharing and Folder Sharing Options
When you share a folder, the sharing options available to you are different from file sharing
options. This table explains the key differences:
File Sharing | Folder Sharing | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Sharing option: Commenters and viewers can download, copy, and print | All users you share the folder with can download, copy, and print files in the
folder. | To remove these abilities, open the individual file and change the setting. |
Sharing option: Editors can share | All users you give edit access to can add, remove, and change permission for
contributors. If you originally create a file in an unshared folder and
later you move it to a shared folder, the Editors Can Share option becomes
enabled. | In a shared folder, you can't disable the Editors Can Share setting. |
Link sharing | Not available for folders. | Link sharing is also not available for discovery boards. |
