How to Stop Sharing Your Google Drive
There are a few things you can do to stop people from sharing your Google Drive files with them. One way is to password protect your files. This can be done by going to the Google Drive settings and selecting the ” Security ” tab. Here, you can set a password for the file. If you do not want someone to be able to access your files unless they know the password, you can also encrypt the files. Encryption can be done by going to the ” Security ” tab and selecting the “Encrypt files” option. Next, you will need to enter a password and the encryption algorithm.
How to Make Your Google Drive Private
There are a few ways to make your Google Drive private. The first and most obvious way is to password-protect your account. You can also encrypt your files. You can also choose to only share files with people you approve of. And lastly, you can choose to delete your files after a certain number of days.
How to Change Sharing Settings on Google Drive
If you want to stop sharing your Google Drive with other people, you can do so by adjusting your sharing settings.
To change your sharing settings, go to Google Drive on your computer and sign in. Click the More menu (three lines in a blue box on the left side of the window), and then click Sharing. On the Sharing settings page, under “Who can see your files and folders?” (or “Where can people find your files and folders?”), click the drop-down menu and choose “Only me.” (If you want to share your Google Drive with other people, but don’t want them to be able to see your files and folders, you can also choose “Only me and people I invite.”)
