Stop Viewers from downloading, printing, or copying a file or folder
Last Updated 8 years ago

To stop downloads, printing, or copying:
You can prevent comments and viewers from downloading, printing, or copying sensitive files. Such as videos you have permission to show the class but don't have permission to distribute.
  1. In Drive, select the shared file or folder.
  2. Click Share.
  3. Click Advanced
  4. At the bottom under "Owner Settings"
  5. Select "Disable options to download, print, and copy for commenters and viewers"
  6. Click Save changes
Editors will still have these options. So make sure you've set the correct permissions for each user.
