Sharing documents with non-CGXchange users

Collaboration Tools‎ > ‎Get started with Google Docs‎ > ‎

To share documents with Gmail/Google users, please follow this procedure:

1. On the shared document, go to Share menu and click on Share with others

2. Add the Gmail address(es) separated by commas and click on Invite Collaborators:

You will receive a message that alerts you that the user you are inviting is outside your domain, click on OK:

This will open a message box with the list of addresses that you have added. (Note that a link to the document will be included in the message:

When you click on Send, the system sends the non-CGXchange users the correct URL (without cgxchange.org in the link):

Note: the shared document will also be visible through their Documents link in GMail.

Important note: After you have shared a document (or presentation/spreadsheet) with non-CGXchange users with a Gmail/Google account (or another Google Apps account), please do not send them the link of the document that you (as a cgxchange.org user) see on the screen when editing a document. This link only works if shared with CGXchange users.
