Doesn't tell me who shared the link, of course. And I can easily revoke access by changing permissions (though it locks the doc for everyone using the link, who doesn't have explicit permissions) | |
| Apr 16, 2018 at 17:33 | comment | added | gmansour | I'm not going to answer the question really but I want to point out something. when you share a link with someone, you cant prevent them from sharing it with others, you can't also track who is doing what on the sheet, and finally you can't revoke access, I guess what I'm trying to say, if this is a common practice in a company and someone leaves the company and you want to deny that person access, well, you can't also if someone in your company decided to share that link with the competition, very possible with no trace back to that person, hope that helps. | |

| Jan 21, 2013 at 17:53 | comment | added | Wayne Werner | Apparently I worded that wrong >.< I guess what I'm really wanting to know is what the complexity of that attack would be, or if the attacker would be sitting around for a while - even with a "load" of machines guessing links. | |
