Question: "anyone with the link can view" permission #568

Hi - how could I set "anyone with the link can view" permission like in the inline screenshot below? The drive share command seems to be email-centric. Please advise, thanks.

Use drive pub.

Hi @clawoflight, thanks. drive pub makes the link public, which google says is indexed. The above setting is apparently different from that, in that it is not indexed.

Hello again @RickCogley. Unfortunately drive pub is the only way right now. I didn't know about this nor how to solve this currently. Any doc references?

I looked at the API docs, but, I cannot see anything specific about those two settings which are available in the GUI itself. @odeke-em

Here's what's needed: https://developers.google.com/drive/v3/reference/permissions#resource-representations

type: "anyone"
role: "reader"
allowFileDiscovery: false

It would be very usefull to add the "anyone with the link" feature

Aha I finally now understand the problem. Thank you @thebaddie for rephrasing it and thank you @RickCogley for advocating it, I have been able to locally produce the expected output. PR coming shortly.

Allow sharing of file with `anyone with link` without
having to publish it to the internet. Publishing is different
because after a file is published, it is indexed
(See #568 (comment)).
We don't want the file to be indexed, but just accessible by anyone with
a link to it.

```shell
$ drive share --type user,anyone,anyone,user --role reader,anyone --emails "[email protected]" outf.gif
Provide access for accountType(s)
  user
  anyone

For roles(s)
  reader

Addressees:
  + [email protected]
  + Anyone with the link

File(s) to share:
  + outf.gif

Proceed with the changes? [Y/n]:y
successful share for outf.gif with email "[email protected]", role "reader" accountType "user"
successful share for outf.gif with email "", role "reader" accountType "anyone"
```

Fixes #568.

Hey folks. Thank you very much for the patience. I finally got time and thought about it. After re-reading the content in the issue I was able to discover how to solve it. The hints and discussions helped a lot. I learnt something about published files being indexed (which is not want the user wants) and also thanks for the reference to the documentation(we were using the same permissions anyways, but a refresher was good). Auto-closed by PR #648. Please get the latest from master

$ go get -v -u github.com/odeke-em/drive/drive-gen && drive-gen

and then you can now do this

$ drive share --type user,anyone,anyone,user --role reader,anyone --emails "[email protected]" outf.gif
Provide access for accountType(s)
  user
  anyone

For roles(s)
  reader

Addressees:
  + [email protected]
  + Anyone with the link

File(s) to share:
  + outf.gif

Proceed with the changes? [Y/n]:y
successful share for outf.gif with email "[email protected]", role "reader" accountType "user"
successful share for outf.gif with email "", role "reader" accountType "anyone"

Then get the URL of the file

$ drive url outf.gif

Please reopen if it persists.

Testing it right now but it still is public and indexed,
maybe is the allowFileDiscovery: false missing?

Enables sharing to anyone with the link but the file won't be
publicly indexed as is usually with files that are published publicly.

```shell
$ drive share --with-link ComedyPunchlineDrumSound.mp3
```
