Google Drive is a great platform for collaboration. However, in certain situations, you may not want to share a file with a particular user while making the file accessible to all users on the Internet. This is where the new block user feature comes in handy. This allows you to block anyone in Google Drive directly.
This is a great security addition aimed at reducing spam, unilateral demands and harassment and giving you more control. If you don’t know how to block someone with Google Drive, here are the steps for iPhone, iPad, Android, and computer.
