I'd like to share the same Google Drive folder with a group of people and within that group, some have edit access.
However, when I share that link to the folder to view, if I go back to that folder to generate a new separate different edit link for that same folder, it looks like I am getting the same URL link for view only, with a checkbox offered to make it edit for that link. But I don't want everyone to be able to edit it.
Therefore, is it possible to generate 2 different URLs to the same Google Drive folder where 1 of the URLs is for view only and the other is for view AND edit? Only those select people in the group would know the URL for the view and edit.
I already know that I can invite people to have edit permissions for the folder, but that means asking them to provide their Gmail address or Google Account, which can take time for them to respond.

Unfortunately, no. This should be resolved by generating a view-only link and then adding your people in the list where you assign them with edit access (not necessarily for all of them). In order to speed up things, you could create a proxy account with edit access and send login credentials to your chosen people.
