Check file permissions
A document, like a PDF, can be uploaded and linked only if your website is open to the public and the document is appropriate for public viewing. If your website is an intranet and requires login, or if the document is sensitive and restricted to Stanford or specific viewers, you must store the document on Google Drive or another secure location. Be sure to check that file permissions are correctly managed.
