Google switches up how you email collaborators in its office apps.

Now, when you choose “Share” within an already-shared Google Drive folder or document, you can click a new envelope-shaped icon to write an email to those you’ve shared it with.

The feature is rolling out now for some, with a broader rollout starting August 26th.
