block the world, allow friends with a pw like their initials - lengthen as needed. This is an invasion by homeless bots, one-at-a-time blocking = they outnumber you.
Add the access PW to your signature as PW = your initials, or your initials twice/thrice in case bots surface. This is OK for families or small crews where the PW rules can be uniquely changed case by case. For bulk, we will all have to go to the new FIDO protocol which seems to be gaining traction.

- edent 5y agoOK, but how do I do that on Google Drive?
- aurizon 5y agoWho has access? I have sent files via GD to people, adding names as needed. Have you granted open access to anyone at all? Not using GD more than once a month, I have not seen any spam, so I am a GD newb?
- notreallyserio 5y agoBased on the content in the article, you don't have to be a heavy user of Google Drive to see this sort of spam, nor do you have to send anyone files.
- bonobo 5y agoThis is not about protecting the files you share, it's about spammers abusing the file sharing mechanism to send you notifications. THEY share a file with you in order to trigger a notification and there's no way to block this.
- aurizon 5y agoAh, I see. Have never got one, fingers crossed. I am not a big user...
