Google-docs – How to tell if I shared a Google document with someone

Without using any kind of API, from where you'll probably able to get the e-mail of your shared folders, you can check the e-mail from the web interface.

Since there is no such thing as contact list here, you can do the following:

1. Login to Dropbox.com
2. Go to Sharing tab
3. Enter any folder and click on Shared folder options button
4. Once you're there click on the Members tab
5. Finally by clicking on the names there you can send them e-mail, and it's using your native client :)

Another way of checking your "list of shared e-mails" is to create a folder, again from the WebUI, then click on the Share a folder and when you start typing the autosuggestion kicks in. I don't know how many mails do you have, but you can test all the letters (they are not too many) and it really depends on how important this is for you, to go through all that hassle.

Okay I had the same problems. Here's what you do.

Create a folder structure under your google apps docs account. For example

Admin Website Library Meetings WIP

Then select ONE folder by ticking the box next to that folder. Then edit the sharing settings and manually add one person in your domain and click "send this person an email"

Once they get the email, open the email and take the link from there. Give that link to everyone on your domain.

Now get everyone to click that link, it will open the folder. What you now need to do is favourite the folder by clicking the "star" that's next to the title.

That folder is now saved under their favourites in the google docs view.

Rinse and repeat.

Finally, make sure that you have configured your domain in the google apps management console such that documents are shared by default to everyone on the domain.

Good luck, let me know if you have problems. I searched for ages to get this working so I know your frustration
