How to keep file sharing access after 7 days with non-Google accounts

Problem

When a Non-Google user attempts to access a file shared with them after 7 days, they are prompted to request for access again.

Environment

  • Google Drive Web for users with the Google Workspace Business Starter Edition.

Solution

Sharing is limited to 7 days for non-Google accounts. If you need to collaborate longer, the user can use the link from the original sharing email to verify their identity again. With this edition, this is limited to 5 shares per user per month.

Workaround
  1. Create a consumer Google account with their non Google email address.
