When you think of Google Drive, one of the many things that cross your mind is sharing files.
But, sometimes, the person you add has to be removed from the project for some reason.
All the files and folders the person shared will be removed.
So if they shared anything you consider spam, you wouldnt have to deal with that file anymore.
Look for the file that the person you want to block shared with you and right-choose it.
After you choose this option, youll get a confirmation message to block this person.

pick the drop-down menu to the right of the Anyone with the link option and choose the Restricted option.
Keep in mind that you’ve got the option to erase a file by right-clicking on it.
But if you dont own the file, it will only be removed from your Drive.
Anyone else that the file has been shared with will access it and make changes if they have permission.
If you dont want anyone to download the file, you’re able to remove the option.
Once youre there, press the trash icon and choose the delete forever option.
That way, no one that somehow accessed your Google Drive files gets access to it.
