I mean, you let ANYONE with your email address able to spam you to death?
That's like email spam but 2.0, because you get notification from Drive and if you are not careful maybe you end up opening things containing inappropriate or harmful content.

[Proposal]Here's my 2 cents to fix it:
It would be fixable by letting account owners decide their sharing policy:
- Open: As is
- Closed: Someone can effectively share a document with you only by sending you a link, if you click it and accept the share, then you have it in your Drive. In this way if you refuse a document you'll get:
NO notifications.
NO unwanted document in Drive.
NO potential misclicks.

My instructors also are having the same issues on and rancid on account that Thursday, 12/three, after the whole thing operating splendidly considering the fact that the beginning of the school year, our videos are actually caught in processing with Google to search for reviews. We just cannot assume our instructors nor our dad and mom to must download the severa movies so that it will view them. Please suggest. Mrs. B
