Grant individuals or other groups access to files, including permission to read, comment, or edit. The returned dribble will have extra columns, shared and permissions_resource. Read more in drive_reveal().
drive_share_anyone() is a convenience wrapper for a common special case: "make this file readable by 'anyone with a link'".
drive_share( file, role = c("reader", "commenter", "writer", "fileOrganizer", "owner", "organizer"), type = c("user", "group", "domain", "anyone"), ..., verbose = deprecated() ) drive_share_anyone(file, verbose = deprecated())

To suppress messaging in a more limited way, use the helpers local_drive_quiet() or with_drive_quiet().
