Google Drive adds security features to file sharing

Google just updated Drive to add new features that give you more control over how others can use content you share. You now have the option to disable the ability of someone to print, download, and copy content you share with them. It might not be a big issue for a lot of people but if you share confidential files and need to limit someone else’s access to them, this option is quite handy.

To activate the feature, you just need to tick the checkbox for this option. It’s available under the Advanced menu, once you opt to share a file. This feature is only available to the file owner. And it doesn’t seem to be available for mobile users just yet.
