Answer 1

There is a simple solution if you are working with Google Docs or Google SpreadSheets. You can use DocumentApp or SpreadSheetApp to share your Docs or SpreadSheets without email notification:

DocumentApp

var doc = DocumentApp.openById('124144')
doc.addEditor('example@mail.com').addViewer('example2@mail.com')

SpreadSheetApp

var spreadSheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('124144')
spreadSheet.addEditor('example@mail.com').addViewer('example2@mail.com')

However, if you are working with documents that aren't Docs or SpreadSheets, you must share then using DriveApp and email notification will be send.
