        I use my work's GDrive (use their own domain) as a shareable folder to my personal GDrive (my work's GDrive has almost infinite storage quotes)

        Does that mean GDrive admin at work can block sharing folders outside work's domain?

          I mean, if you know that person you will give him permission to edit, otherwise he can just see and download nothing else

                Duddle, 25 Jul 2021Since its inception, Google Drive has always been torturous... moreWhy are you even here then? You don't need to spam here and there, users do know what they are having and what not.

                  Since its inception, Google Drive has always been torturously slow to both upload and download, even from a FTTP line.

                  Google Drive is the worst of the worst as a file hosting service / HDaaS (hard-drive-as-a-service).

                  I wish I could commit arson on the Googleplex.

                    this is a simple feature that needs much more then just this, i get quite a lot of spam, innapropriate content and all sort of other garbage in my shared with me folder, blocking does absolutely nothing overall, you need an extra layer in place instead of a reactive setting

                      After almost 10 years, they released a feature that should have existed since the beginning, and after 10 years, they will remove it for no reason. Google (tm).
