    Click the "Share" button that you would use to share it with someone new and it should say "Shared with..." and if you click on that a more detailed tab comes up with the share settings for each person.

    I tried to send a file through Gmail, and because it was too big, it attached it as a Google Drive link. Will this only be available to the person I am sending it to, or will it show up on Facebook too?

    Unless you clicked the icon "share to Facebook," it will not post to Facebook. Whether or not anyone else can access it depends on the settings you choose for the file (see steps above), but generally anyone you sent it to can see it.
