Here is how Google Drive lets you protect your shared files

Google Drive now lets you prevent others from downloading, copying and printing your shared files.

This is an important update that will significantly lower the stress level for the millions of users who rely on the platform for work or school.

While Google Drive can't stop someone from grabbing a screenshot of the document, this is a great first step towards a more secure environment.

Here is how you can activate the feature according to Google Support:

1) Go to drive.google.com.
2) Select a file or folder.
3) At the top, click the share icon .
4) In the bottom right, click Advanced.
5) Check the box next to "Disable options to download, print, and copy for commenters and viewers."
6) Click Save changes. People with "view" and "comment" permissions will see these options grayed out.
