LinkedIn seems to be leaking Google Docs

4•pbd•4h ago

A friend of mine shared a google doc link with me over linkedin.

Linkedin rendered the thumbnail of the post alongwith the doc header as well. But lo & behold, turns out I can't access the doc because the doc was restricted to his google workspace!

Lol. What on earth? I guess this is some issue of caching gone wrong? Also, is Google letting linkedin have unrestricted access to its' google docs thumbnails & doc headers?

Lately I've seen people share full copyrighted books straight on LinkedIn, not sure if that's related.

Hi it depends on few factors if you can answer

1.Whether the document had never been shared publicly, or if it was at some point before being restricted.

2.Whether LinkedIn showed only the title and a thumbnail, or any part of the document content.

3.Whether your friend is part of a Google Workspace domain (e.g., company/org), or a regular Gmail user.
