Now that Google Docs has transitioned into Google Drive, how do I share a permalink?
I understand that I can "Share" a document, and send an email notification as well. But I'm trying to keep all communications in a single thread, therefore the need for a permalink.
Where is the permalink for a Google Drive document?

The easiest method I've found is to simply open the document and copy the URL in your browser's address bar. That URL is a permalink to the files on your account. This is a good method because you can share the link but only the people you have shared the document with will be allowed to view the file (anyone not on the list will get an access denied message).
The other method is to enable public sharing:
You will now see a Permalink to your document. Note that this is public for, well... anyone with the link!
(you can also link to specific parts within the document using bookmarks)
