Intermittent issues with Google share links

Open acrokat opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

We've run into a few issues intermittently with Google workspace links. I haven't been able to identify a consistent repro, but outlined the general behavior is outlined below

Behavior

  1. Use the "Share" button and set access to Public edit on a Google doc
  2. Plug it in the iframerly url checker
  3. The full URL with the ?usp=share parameter will 403
  4. Removing the share param will embed as expected

It seems to happen with specific one off docs

Thank you. Is there a chance you could provide a link to such specific one off doc for us to try and reproduce the issue?

@iparamonau apologies, missed this! the cases i was running into it with were internal company docs, i tried a few times to repro with a random test doc without success. will let you know if i have a shareable doc with a repro!

Hi @iparamonau ! We managed to replicate this issue with the following spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cDh1hI060rwPXG59tidB1skvCYkZrM6kayTX6nT105E/edit?usp=sharing

Let us know if you need more details to continue your research.

Thanks!

That URL seems to be working alright for us.

In this case, it may be some issue with Google's cache state. We'll try again in a while.
