I would like to know this as well. Keep getting spam shared on an account I don't use much, but keep getting notifications. Not fun when my 9 yo son is on my phone and a notification pops up that someone shared "eat my pussy baby". Google needs to address this.

Same problem here. I'd like to be able to prevent people I don't know from being able to share with me at all. I don't want to touch these files, either, as I suspect they're malicious. Is there no way to disable sharing completely?

Glad/Upset to see im not the only one having this issue. Its not that hard to have a disallow all option with a white list.

i agree. this is a problem that has me in the verge of just withdrawing from all google things. i feel like anyone in the world that just has my email address can put whatever they want on my drive, and all of my devices will get a notification to view some extremely lewd content. Please google fix this

I think it is time for a class action lawsuit. This is getting ridiculous. I get porn shared to my drive all the dang time.
