Google Docs Companywide Sharing

Sharing the document with "People at <my domain> can find and view" permission:

  • will make it possible for users to search for the document in Google Docs If the user knows the name or part of the name of the document, he can enter it in the Search field at the top of the Google Docs view and click on 'Search <my domain> Docs', If the user doesn't know the name, he can click on 'Show search options' to find other ways to find the document.
  • will add the document to users' Docs view once opened (under 'All Items' and 'Opened by me')
  • to avoid users' Google Docs view to be overflown by files they do not need, the file created by another user will not appear in the Google Docs view until searched and opened.

If you would like the document to appear in the user's Google Docs view without the user having to search for it first, you will need to share the document with him on an individual basis or with a group he is part of.

A quick way to do so is to add the document to a folder shared with the user. For more information on Shared folders, please visit http://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=165280.

You can also email the link to the document to the users so they can gain access easily without searching for the document.
