🔗 Link-Sharing Risk Simulator

Flip the same switches you see in Drive-style sharing dialogs. The map shows who can actually open your file — and which escape routes a public link unlocks. Nothing here touches real files; it all runs in your browser.

Modelled on real Google Drive / Workspace behaviour (checked 2026-09-03). Audience numbers are illustrative; the rules — who gets in, what can expire, who can re-share — match the real thing.

Who can open it?

Named recipients 2

Permission

Access expiry

What's in the file?

Then life happens… One recipient forwards the link to someone else Three weeks pass, and the link gets pasted somewhere public (a ticket, forum, public page)

REACHABLE AUDIENCE

EXPOSURE RISK

—

“WHO HAD ACCESS?” — CAN WE ANSWER IT?

📢 This is not sharing any more — it's publication. Anyone on Earth who obtains this link can open the file.

Escape routes

Try this: set 🔒 customer data → 🌍 anyone with the link, then tick both "life happens" boxes — and notice the expiry dropdown greys out, because a public link cannot be given an expiry date. Now click ✅ safe setup: every escape route slams into a login wall, and “who had access?” flips to a question you can actually answer. That's the whole of Module 1 in two clicks.
