Google Drive is a great tool for storing and sharing files, but it can also be used to send spam. If you want to stop spam from being sent to your Google Drive account, there are a few steps you can take. First, make sure that your email address is not listed as a contact on your Google Drive account. This will help prevent spam emails from being sent to you directly. Second, add a filter for “spam” to your Gmail account. This will help block any spam emails that are sent to your Gmail account before they reach your Google Drive account. Finally, use the “Block Spammers” feature in Google Drive to stop spam from being sent directly to your Google Drive account. This will prevent any spam emails from being stored in your Google Drive account. ..
Everything that gets shared to your Google Drive account can be found on the aptly named “Shared With Me” tab. This is where we can block people who have sent unwanted things to you. Head over to drive.google.com in a web browser and find the tab.
Next, look for the offending document or file that was sent to you. Right-click the file to bring up a menu.
From the pop-up menu, select “Block username@email.com.”
Confirm your decision by clicking “Block” on the next pop-up.
When you block someone on Google Drive, it prevents them from being able to share anything with you in the future. It also removes all the existing files from them and any access to files you’ve given them. You can manage who you’ve blocked by visiting the blocklist on your Google Account.
That’s all there is to it! This is a very simple feature, but if you’ve been targeted by spam in Google Drive, it’s a very nice thing to know about.
We don’t see this feature on mobile yet as of its release in July 2021, but hopefully, Google will add it soon.
