To share a resume link from Google Drive, you need to create a shareable link for the document.

You can do this by right-clicking on the resume document in your Google Drive account and selecting "Get link." This will generate a shareable link that you can copy and paste into emails or messages.

Make sure you're signed in to your Google Drive account to access this option.

Sharing your resume link from Google Drive can be a simple process, but it's not the most professional way to share it with clients or customers. You can create a direct download link to share your resume, which is a better option for professional sharing.

To create a direct download link, you can use a tool like a direct download link generator. This tool will automatically generate a URL that triggers a download when clicked. However, this tool doesn't work for Google Apps like Google Documents, Google Sheets, or Google Forms.

If you need to create a direct link for these types of files, you'll need to download them to your computer and re-upload them to drive.google.com.

You can also use a link generator to create a simple URL link generator to format a shareable link. This can be useful for sharing your resume on social media or anywhere online.

To build a link generator, you'll need to use Paperform calculations, which use simple Excel-style functions and mathematics to combine and transform responses within a form field. For example, you can use a formula to trim the submitter's link so all that's left is the file ID.

Here's an example of how to configure a Calculation field to format a link:Add a question field to your form asking the submitter to paste the linkCreate a new Calculation field and open the Configuration menu (the gear icon)Write the formula for your calculation using the built-in documentation as a guide

For the Google direct download link generator, the formula used is a simple one to trim the submitter's link and add the file ID to the end of "https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=".

When sharing your resume link, you can also choose who can access the file by selecting "Anyone with the link" in the Sharing dialog. This will make the file available to anyone with the link, but you can still control who has edit access.

You can also send an email directly from the Sharing dialog to inform collaborators about major revisions or discuss a question that's too long for the document's comment thread.

To send an email from the Sharing dialog, follow these steps:

  1. On your computer, go to Google Drive.
  2. Next to the file you want to send an email about, click More actions Share Share .
  3. In the Sharing dialog, next to "People with access", click Email people on this file .
  4. In the "Email collaborators" screen, select the groups you want to send the email to.
  5. In the "Message" field, add your message.
  6. Click Send.

Note that you can't add new collaborators in the "Email collaborators" screen.

Managing Permissions

To share your resume link from Google Drive, you need to set the right permissions. Ensure the file's visibility in Google Drive is set to "Anyone with the link". This means anyone who receives the link can view and download the files.

If you want to restrict access, you can set it to "Restricted", but only people logged in to Google and granted access can open the direct download link. To change permissions, go to the file's settings and select "Anyone with the link" under "General access".
