What is the main difference between giving view permission and edit permission in a shared cloud file?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: View permission allows only reading, edit permission allows changes
A viewer can generally open and read the shared file without changing its contents. An editor can modify data, formulas, formatting, or other content, depending on the service’s permission settings. Because edits may introduce errors or remove information, edit access should be limited to people who need it and can be trusted; view access follows the principle of least privilege.
