"Share" in Google Docs/Sheets/Slides Explained

The "SHARE" feature in Google can be confusing unless you are using it regularly. First, it's important to understand that ALL DOCUMENTS IN GOOGLE DRIVE (including folders) HAVE THEIR OWN WEB ADDRESS that can be shared in many ways. I've tried narrowing the options down to 4 main concepts: 

1. Share with a few individuals
2. Share with a larger group
3. Download or Email as a different File Type
4. Force others to make a COPY before accessing the document

Here are a few quick resources to help you decide which option is right for the situation.
