Google Drive gets the ability to block spam users

NEW DELHI: In May this year, Google promised to roll out a solution that will address the issue of spam on Google Drive. The company officially announced that it is rolling out the ability to block people in Drive.

You just have to right-click on a shared file to reveal the new option as the second last option in the menu. The blocked users will not be able to share the uploaded items with you and the Drive will also hide any earlier consent sent to your account.

“Drive’s sharing capabilities fuel productivity and collaboration, but bad actors can abuse tools that are meant to facilitate helpful sharing.
