Publish Google Docs, Presentations, Spreadsheets and Drawings to the Web



Google Drive has a convenient feature that lets you share files by publishing them to the web.
Once you publish your file, you’ll have a URL that you can post to Google Classroom, a blog, via email, social media or you can embed it into your website.


  • Go to Google Drive.
  • Open the file you want to publish to the web.
  • Choose File menu, Publish to the web...
  • Choose Published Content Settings & check Automatically republish when changes are made
(this will update the web page whenever you make changes to the file).  
Then click Publish to get the URl.
  • Click OK when the following prompt comes up.
  • Then copy the URL and paste into Google Classroom, a blog, email, etc.  you can also share the web page using the social media tools listed at the bottom of this window.
Note: Since the file you will be sharing is a web page viewers will not be able to edit.  This is just a quick way to share information in a Google Document, Sheet, Presentation, or Drawing to a large audience.
