I have followed the instructions to allow the Google Group to view and edit both Docs and Calender events to find that the user must then sign up for a Google account. Once this is done, the user then has to send you a "request" to have access. In fact, the calender invitation provides a shortened link to click on to view the calender that does not even work. Since it is shortened, copying and pasting is not even an option. This is NOTHING like what the directions say is going to happen, am I missing something?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07798751784181846682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-12122107949614036172009-08-26T12:08:34.258-07:002009-08-26T12:08:34.258-07:00indeed. much like the address popup in gmail, it s...indeed. much like the address popup in gmail, it should have been done a long time agoweb design irelandhttp://www.bluestar.ienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-69305570017003964032009-08-21T03:36:09.140-07:002009-08-21T03:36:09.140-07:00Google have already introduce some dynamic feature...Google have already introduce some dynamic features for their users.

Of course the user sharing the document should take care the necessary options are set to allow this... (unfortunately Google Docs fails guiding users to set such required options).<br /><br />And yes, Anonymous, sharing without the need to sign in does not protect a document from being (ab)used outside to group of users that were originally invited. So one could call this one of those typical Google Docs workarounds.ahabnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-2983014769943742922009-08-18T21:16:31.080-07:002009-08-18T21:16:31.080-07:00I don't understand why anyone would upload the...I don't understand why anyone would upload their sensitive documents to an online app. All security that you had before that is now gone. People break into online systems everyday just for fun. Others do it for profit and others might use the info to over-through a country.

Allowing you to share docs with a group of users instead of individually is really just a feature that should have existed from the start.<br /><br />Come on Google, where's the Groups love? Don't you see how easily groups would fill one of the big Public Folder voids for would be MS Exchange switchers?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
