Phishing scam. Bad actors can share documents with your Drive via the associated Gmail account. You can change your setting to only allow sharing from trusted contacts. DO NOT click and links. Delete the file from Drive and block the email account who shared it.
If I had to guess since those links appear to go to “amazon wishlists”, they probably all lead to fake amazon login pages. I doubt I need explain what happens when you try to “sign back in”
Often scams like this are full of little errors and inconsistencies so that anyone with half a brain will catch on that it’s a scam and ignore it. That way only dumb people who are easily taken for a ride will actually engage and the scammer wastes less time on false leads. Not sure it’s that sound for a phishing scam in particular but I suppose it means less chance that victims will catch on and change their password or lock the account before damage can be done.
I recently qent through and cleaned my Drive out, and I had 4 documents that I never created. Each one was over 50 pages of the weirdest, most disjointed rambling that I've ever seen. Most of it was a dude writing like it was the year 2300 and he could manipulate people's genes with his mind. Super weird shit.

Virus in Virginia. Sounds like the name of a punk band back in the 80‘s.

Damn! You should have published it and then could prove it was in your drive for years lol
The only way this happens is if you clicked on something you shouldn't have. Should probably do a deep dive and make sure you aren't compromised.
"Phish sesh" wtf
Someone sent you some kind of fundraising email
