It seems that they all give themselves permission to move your stuff around if it makes their service work. Apple is actually the worst of these with iCloud, as they reserve the right to delete anything they deem "objectionable". That is also the beauty of using your own hard drive/server with Pogoplug, your truly critical stuff never touches their servers, and you can save anything you want. Less critical/sensitive stuff can go to their free 5GB "cloud" with pretty much the same TOS as all the other cloud servers. http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/25/29...dropbox-icloud -- Regards, Savageduck |

An option to allow or not allow download of the file. Then there is "locked Private" where only the intended recipient(s) who have been explicitly granted permission can view and/or download the file after sign-in. For now, Google Drive does not have a URL shortening feature similar to that found in Dropbox. So having said all that, try this for size. These files are set for all those with access to the URL & according to the set up, download not permitted.

I can see and right click Save Image As just fine. I suspected as much. In the various Google Drive sharing options you are given the option of permitting download of the file, or not. I believed I had selected "Do not permit download." My understanding was this would allow recipients of the URL "access" to view the image, or read a text file or PDF. As this is the first time I have used Google Drive I was not sure is a recipient would, or would not be able to "right click" save, since as the "owner", if I open the URL I am give full edit access. So one of two things happened here, either I goofed when making the option "to not permit download" or that option has been falsely represented by Google. -- Regards, Savageduck |
