Is there a way to save and share webpage links? For example, http://www.example.com.
How can I save that webpage link to a folder and be able to share that link with others?

It is not possible to have a "folder of links" in Drive.
What you can do is create a document and put the links in there. This document can be easily shared with others.
But, as @Krampus mentions, there are plenty of bookmark-sharing services available. Google even has its own one: Google Bookmarks. Another one I used before is Delicious. Wikipedia has a page on social bookmarking websites.
I make a new Google Doc and I paste my url on the page as a hyperlink and name it. Make sure when you use this that your mode for the Google Doc is in viewing mode.
You can save links with the free Chrome extension Save to Google Drive
. You can find it at the Chrome Web Store.
If you installed the extension it will look like that:
An easy way that I use with Google Drive:
Your file is on Drive and also all the links.
In browser window #1, open the page that you want to create a link for.
In browser window #2, open the Google Drive folder that you want to put it in.
Drag the favicon to the left of the URL in window #1 into the folder space in window #2. It should create a .webloc
file. If you download this file and open it, it will take you to the linked webpage.
The downside of this method is that you cannot open the link directly from within Google Drive. You'll need to sync it to your computer or download it in order to open it.
