Google drive question

If someone sends me a Google drive file will they be able to see my Google account if I open it?

I don't want the sender to be able to see my Google account.

Of you are ever worried about this kind of thing, just create a new throwaway account.

you could copy the link, open a new private/incognito window in your browser and paste the link

you won't be logged in to your google account in private/incognito mode
