Google Drive security update and permissions changes

This month, Google released a security update to Google Drive in order to make file sharing more secure. This changed the links for some files, and may lead to access requests for files you’ve previously shared. Please see the example below. (Note: access will not change for anyone that has already viewed the files.) You may also preempt these new access requests by redistributing the updated file links from Google Drive.
