Collaborate on Google Drive files with people not using a Google account using secure pin code sharing

Google is introducing an easy pincode identity verification process that will enable you to invite non-Google users to collaborate on files as visitors, using PINs (Personal Identification Numbers). These external users, or “visitors,” don’t always have Google accounts, making it more difficult for G Suite and non-Google users to collaborate seamlessly and securely. 

This new feature will help ensure smooth and secure collaboration with visitors through: 

• Rich collaboration with the ability to edit and comment on Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Images, PDFs and Office Files with external users.
• Audit logging for collaboration with visitors, so that all interactions are monitored and recorded. 
• Ability to revoke access and remove collaborators as needed. 
• Reduced need to download, email, or create separate files to work with external users who don’t have Google accounts. 
• Reduce the need to share files in Google Drive with link sharing and can now share with specific people and groups regardless whether they have a Google account
