Anonymous Users No Notifcations?
For a while now I have thought that there was some fault I wasn't figuring out. I LOVE your extensions and feel they were a long time needed. It was really great to find them!
I have gone through the forum posts trying to figure out why I wasn't getting notifications when my pal would edit a doc we were working on together. I have reinstalled... updated... done it all.
I was getting notifications periodically for other files when someone worked in them but it felt very inconsistent. It dawned on me yesterday, one specific friend usually doesn't log into GDrive, he just works anonymously and moves on.
Can you confirm my suspicion that this is the reason why I'm not seeing notifications when he modifies a file? If that is the case, is there any way to work around this? He's not the only person I work with that will pop in anonymously to edit a file when I need it.
Thanks so much for all of your work!

I have tested it with different settings in the past with him. Having him go in and make a change, then wait and nothing... But I know when a different friend goes in, logged in, I do get notifications and in real-time. I only clued into this idea yesterday.
Do I need to have the console open while I do things or will it log everything as the day goes on as long as I've got Dev mode on?
Just wondering also are you using the standard my drive or Team Drives?
