Embedded Files
The default settings on Google files are private = only you can view.
If you add private files to your portfolio website, then nobody but you will be able to see them! Your instructors cannot grade files they cannot see.
So... it is essential that the Share settings are Anyone with the link for every file that you add to your Portfolio website.
The easiest way to change the settings is to use a shared Google Drive folder. Watch the video below to learn how!
