Extending Google Drive user blocking to include comments and mentions
Quick launch summary
Earlier this year, we enabled users to block another user in Google Drive. If blocked, the user will not be able to share any Drive items with you, and items owned by the user will not be able to be shared with you or be shown when you’re browsing Google Drive.
Now, we’re enhancing this feature by also preventing notifications when there’s an @-mention between you and a blocked user in comments or action items on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. This block will apply to both email and in-app notifications. This will make the feature more predictable and comprehensive.
Getting started
- Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. Note that users can’t block users within the same domain or in trusted domains.
- End users: Visit the Help Center to learn more about blocking and unblocking users in Google Drive.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Gradual rollout (up to 15 days for feature visibility) starting on November 9, 2021. Also available to users with personal Google Accounts.
Availability
- Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers.
