What is the advantage of sharing documents via URL in Google Docs?

Sharing documents via URL in Google Docs offers the advantage of easier distribution than email attachments for several reasons.

When you share a document through a URL, recipients can access it with just a click, eliminating the need to download and open an attachment. This accessibility streamlines collaboration, making it convenient for multiple users to view or edit the document without the complications often associated with email attachments, such as file size limits or different software versions that might not be compatible.

Additionally, using a URL enables real-time collaboration, where all participants can see changes as they occur, fostering a more dynamic and interactive working experience. This method also reduces the clutter of email exchanges and version control issues that can arise when individuals send multiple copies of a file back and forth.

Other options, while they may have their own advantages in certain contexts, do not highlight the significant ease of access and collaboration that a URL provides.
