Google Account permissions review

Some of the applications that we install ask us about permissions to access our Google Account. We granted them as part of the installation process or in first use because we need this app. Isn't it good to check what part of our account they have access, to check the given permissions and change them or just to remember. So there is a way. If you would like to know how, please, keep reading.

Go to myaccount.google.com or simply type in Google Search - "my account settings" - pick the first result which is probably: Sign in - Google Accounts

If you are not logged in your account it will ask you to do it.

If you use more than one accounts - you need to choose which one you would like to check.

Scroll down to Connected apps and services section and click on Account Permissions.

You will see list of all Apps that you granted permissions. By clicking on every of them you will review the permissions in the left. If you would like you can revoke that access.

Hope this article was helpful.

Share a folder in Google Drive

As you can share a file with other people the same idea is with sharing of folders. You can create a folder in your Google Drive and share it with all people that need to have access to it with editing writes. Every file that you or other put there will be shared with the same permissions because the credentials are inherit.
How you can do that?
1. Log in to your Google Drive.
2. Create or open a folder that you would like to share.
3. Click on the Sharing Icon.

4. Type the e-mail addresses of the people that you would like to share with and pick for every person what permissions to have in that shared folder.

5. Can view - People with given that permission obviously can view and download files inside the folder but cannot change or delete them. They cannot put new files in the shared folder.
6. Can Edit - People with that permission will have the same rights like the owner of the folder inside it. These people can view, download, change and delete files inside that folder. They can put new files in the shared folder.
