Windows 10: Viewing google drive shared file after edit.

OS Windows 11. A creates an xls file. A shares it with B for viewing. A makes some changes and saves the changes. But the changes do not show up when B opens the file. How do you enable the edited changes to be seen immediately to B.

Solved - Shared folder not sharing the most recently added files (Google Drive)

Solved (see below). I can't mark my below post as the answer so hopefully a moderator can sort that out.

I share my Google Drive folder to another account (admin) on my computer. I use this account with Google Drive (non-admin) infrequently, but when I've logged in (and synced files) in the last week or two the added files have not received the sharing permissions.

The way I've shared this folder is by:

right clicking on the folder --> sharing --> network file and folder sharing --> share... (add read/write permission for admin)

Removing and re-adding the folder sharing does not add permissions to these files, but I am able to add permissions manually (although this is workaround and I can't do this for all files).

Does anyone have suggestions for how I can get this Folder sharing working correctly again?

 

cannot open files on network shared drive

Is the remote shared folder mapped? Do you have a drive letter assigned to it?
I'd suggest calling the software developer and asking them.
