Sharing overview
Sharing using cloud-based systems such as G Suite is different from how we used to share files with one another in the past; where we sent an attachment.
The problem with that approach was that it created multiple copies of the same file; plus there wasn’t an easy way to manage the most up to date version of the file.
Sharing using a cloud-based system such as G Suite overcomes this.
