Easily share Google Drive files to Google Calendar meeting attendees

Google announced the option to share any file with all meeting participants on a Google Calendar invite via the sharing dialog within a file.

As a file owner or editor, go to the Share button in a file > type in the title of a calendar event > select the event > confirm the correct list of meeting attendees are added > select the users’ access level > click Send.

To share a file to a calendar event, you must be the file owner or editor and be a participant on the meeting that you’re sharing to on your calendar.

If you attach a file directly to a Calendar invite, you will see a pop-up asking if you'd like to share the file with the meeting attendees.

If you’d like to link the file to the calendar invite, you can select "Attach to calendar event" before clicking Send.

Sharing files is critical to building a collaborative environment. With this new feature, users can easily share files with meeting attendees before a meeting, ensuring everyone is prepared and able to collaborate on the same file.
