How to remove access to a shared file
WHEN TO REMOVE ACCESS
Remove access when a project ends, a recipient no longer needs the file, someone changes roles, or a file was shared by mistake.
STEPS
Open the sharing or permissions settings, review current users and links, remove unnecessary people, and disable broad sharing links.
CHECK
Confirm inherited permissions or folder-level access are not still granting access.
COMMUNICATE
Let collaborators know if removing access affects active work.
BEST PRACTICE
Review permissions on sensitive files regularly.
