Find Publicly Shared Files in Google Drive — Anyone With the Link
Google Drive makes public sharing one click away and gives you no way to list what you've shared. So links get created for a quick handoff, the handoff ends, and the link stays live indefinitely.
Why you can't do this in Drive itself
Drive's own sharing view is per-file. You can check one document's permissions in two clicks, but there is no built-in report across a whole Drive and no alert when something becomes public. On a Drive of any size, a manual review isn't merely tedious — it isn't a thing a person can actually finish. Search operators help a little and mislead a lot: they don't surface link-sharing state, so a Drive that looks clean by search can still have hundreds of live public links.
What NeatDrive shows you
Every publicly linked file, sorted so the ones that matter come first. Owner, full folder path, last modified date, file type and size — enough to decide without opening anything. Files heuristically flagged as containing credentials, PII or financial data are ranked to the top when they're also publicly shared. That intersection is the thing worth fixing today.
Revoking safely
Select what to fix and see exactly what each change does, row by row, before anything is applied — nothing changes unless you approve it. Nothing is deleted: files move to a quarantine batch inside your own Drive, and every action is written to a full activity log you can export. Revoke a share, undo it for 30 days.
Find yours in about five minutes
The audit is free and read-only. It requests file metadata only — names, sizes, dates, owners and sharing settings — and nothing in your Drive changes until you approve a specific action.
