@jospoortvliet This is a good feature.
I have used this with Google Docs more than once.
It is a very handy feature. I will not likely use it much, but it is awesome to have.
Does Google's option allow for no authentication before the other person is editing it at the same time as you?
Yes. You can send just a link.
You have to log in into Gmail to edit

I correct myself this was modified, if you set the whole file to anyone with the link can edit you don't have to have a Google account, and edits are marked as created by anonymous.
So it is apparently possible in google

Here is the link to Googles documentation

Ah, thanks, I didn't know it was possible in G'docs. Well I guess they feel the pressure from the competition from MS so they're lowering the bar rather than forcing people to sign up to an account...
Still we're cooler

Does this mean that when your done having the anonymous person make edits that you have to remember after the fact to go back and remove Anonymous access to ensure that somebody is not randomly bumping into your link and then editing your files?

Yes, you have to manually remove the permissions or it stays editable to anyone with the link.

Yes, expiration dates are only with a GSuite account and setting one removes the edit access for the people or group.

I thought we were talking about business cases here? Granted NC can be used for free.
