Prevent people from downloading, printing, or copying your file

If you own a file, you can take steps so that viewers and commenters can’t print, copy, or download it:

  1. Find the file or folder in:

  3. Click Share or Share Share.
  4. At the top, click Settings Settings.
  5. Next to “Viewers and commenters can see the option to download, print, and copy,” uncheck the box.

To prevent editors and owners from printing, copying, or downloading a file, administrators can create a DLP rule for Drive. If this setting is applied to a document, it changes the copy and paste functionality:

  • Users can copy and paste document content within the document.
  • Users can copy and paste outside content into the document.
  • Users can’t copy and paste document content outside the document.

Tip: You can limit how people share, print, download, and copy within Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. However, you can't stop how others share the file content in other ways.

Prevent others from sharing your files

  1. Open the file in Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Google Slides.
  2. Click Share or Share Share.
  3. At the top, click Settings Settings.
  4. Uncheck Editors can change permissions and share.

Important: If you prevent sharing of a folder, it only applies to the folder. To prevent sharing the files inside, you have to change this setting for the files inside.
