Password protection and expiration for your Google Drive links
Drive links are all-or-nothing and never expire. Teserro adds the access controls Drive is missing — without moving a single file out of Drive.
No migration. No new storage. Your files stay exactly where they are.
Google Drive links have a security gap
"Anyone with the link" was never meant to be a permissions model.
Links never expire
A link shared for one project stays live forever, long after the client relationship or campaign has ended.
No middle ground
Drive links are either public to anyone, or locked to a Google account. There's no simple password option in between.
No visibility
Once a link is out, you have no record of who opened it, when, or whether it was ever viewed at all.
Three steps, on top of the Drive you already use
No new file storage. No migration project. Teserro sits in front of files that already live in your approved Shared Drives.
Pick a file or folder
Select from any Shared Drive your admin has approved — personal "My Drive" content is never exposed.
Set a password and expiration
Choose a tracked link that requires an email, or a direct link with one shared password. Set an expiration date either way.
Share and track
Send the link. Tracked links show exactly who viewed or downloaded each item; direct links show aggregate view and download counts.
Everything Drive links are missing
Password or email gating
Gate a direct link with a password, or require an email before viewing a tracked link — without changing sharing settings in Drive itself.
Expiration dates
Set a date after which the link automatically stops working. No manual cleanup required.
View & download tracking
Know exactly who opened a tracked link, and whether they downloaded the file.
No migration
Works directly with the Shared Drives you already have. Nothing gets copied or moved.
Admin-approved sources
Only Shared Drives an admin explicitly approves can be shared from. Personal Drive content is never reachable.
Your brand, not ours
Set your own logo, favicon, and color theme so every link you send looks like it came from you.
Designed around how your Drive is already locked down
-
Shared Drives only, admin-controlled
Files can only be shared from Shared Drives an admin has explicitly approved — never from personal My Drive.
-
Nothing duplicated
Files stay in Drive. Teserro generates a controlled access point, not a copy.
-
Every action is logged
Share creation, gating, and admin actions are all audit-logged. Each share's own analytics page shows its full view and download history.
-
Expiration enforced automatically
No standing links to audit or revoke manually — access ends on the date you set, every time.

No. Files stay exactly where they are in Google Drive. Teserro generates a controlled access point in front of them — nothing is copied, moved, or duplicated.
Only Shared Drives your admin has explicitly approved. Personal "My Drive" content is never exposed or reachable through Teserro.
A Tracked Link requires the recipient's email before viewing, and shows you exactly who opened or downloaded each item. A Direct Link is gated by a single shared password and shows aggregate view/download counts instead of individual identities.
No. Recipients only need the email address (for Tracked Links) or password (for Direct Links) you set — not a Google or Workspace account of their own.
Drive's native "anyone with the link" sharing is all-or-nothing and never expires. Teserro adds password or email gating, automatic expiration, and view/download tracking on top of the Shared Drives you already use.
One quick step: your Google Workspace admin adds Teserro's service account as a Viewer on the Shared Drive(s) you want to share from — the same "add a person" action you'd use for a human collaborator, and read-only access only. We walk you through it after signup, and it typically takes a couple of minutes.
Get in touch — we'll help your admin approve the right Shared Drives and get your team set up.
