Google Security Update
On September 13, 2021, Drive will apply a security update to some of your files in Drive to make file sharing more secure.
This update will change the links used for some files, and may lead to new access requests for the impacted files. Access to these files won't change for people who have already viewed them. Learn more
After the update is applied, you can avoid new access requests by distributing the updated link to your file(s). Follow instructions in the Drive documentation
See your impacted files
Starting July 26, 2021, you can see your impacted files in your My Drive.
- On your computer, go to drive.google.com/drive/my-drive.
- At the top, find the security update banner and click See files.
- If you have multiple Drives with impacted files, click on one of your Drives, like My Drive, to see all impacted files in that Drive.
- Important: You can only view your impacted files for 30 days from when you receive the security update notification email from Drive. After 30 days, you can use advanced search to find your impacted files.
