Google Drive Security Updates

Google Workspace has announced that on September 13, 2021, they will be applying security updates to shared files to make file sharing more secure. This only affects specific types of shared files and if it affected any of the files that you share, you would have received a message such as this from Google:





Within this message, Google provides several links that describe the details of this change. Some may consider this "information overload," but here is an important tidbit of information: Shared Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms are not affected by this security update. 

If you share other types of files, you may have staff reaching out to you to get a new link to the file. Providing a new link should quickly resolve the problem.
