If you ever find a sketchy or unwanted file that appears in your Google Drive’s shared folder, you will soon be able to block the sender.

While this feature is great to keep unwanted file spammers at bay, this doesn’t actually prevent someone from sending over unsolicited files in the first place. In fact, a spammer behind a blocked email would just need to create another account and they can get on with their spamfest.

To block someone on Google Drive, right-click on a file in the “Shared with me” tab which came from them, and you should be able to see a “Block” option from the dropdown menu. Of course, if you block someone, you can alwaysAfter clicking on your profile picture, select the “Manage your Google account” tab. Under “People & Sharing”, you can scroll down to see the list of users that you have blocked, and may proceed to unblock them from there.

Alternatively, Google should employ spam-filtering options for Drive the same way it does with Gmail. Gmail uses intelligent algorithms tosuspicious emails including ones that have been blacklisted, and also refers to its database of sketchy keywords. At the time of writing, the Google Drive block option doesn’t appear to be available for Malaysian users yet, as it is said to roll out within the next couple of weeks. So if you encounter unwanted file sharing in the meantime, your best bet is to report it as abusive.
