Notice how it is prompting us to enter a name or email address. This is an optional feature that will send an email to whoever we want containing a link to the file. We will not enter any email addresses here because we want to send a public link to our students. 

Finally, click "Copy link”.

Clicking the "Copy link" button does two things:
  1. Applies sharing permissions to the file. The sharing permissions state that anyone who knows the link to the file can view and edit it.
  2. Copies the link to the file to the clipboard so you can paste it somewhere.
