Google Drive user blocking now extends to comments and mentions.
Google is enhancing the user blocking feature in Google Drive to prevent notifications when there is an @-mention between a user and a blocked user in comments or action items across Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. This restriction applies to both email and in-app notifications, making the blocking feature more comprehensive and predictable.

Google Drive introduces search chips in beta to help users refine search results.
Google Drive is launching a beta feature called search chips, which allows users to narrow down their search results more effectively. Users can filter results based on file type (e.g., Google Doc, PDF, or image), people, location (such as a shared drive or specific folder), last modified date, file titles, and shared drive labels, mirroring functionality already available in Gmail.
