Google-drive – Google Drive notifications on edits

If a person is maliciously adding you as an editor (or owner) to documents, you could report the Google Drive/Docs abuse to Google.

If it's a friend who's behaving anti-socially, tell him or her why you don't want to share/own the document. Unfortunately, in the email that's generated, I can't see any way to "refuse" the share in the email. Google Docs is not a social network, per se, where you'd find such features (ignoring requests).

From the tests I did briefly, I can only assign one "owner" of a document. An editor of a document can remove himself from the sharing. If you're just an editor, deleting the document won't remove you from having the permission (although the document doesn't show up either in the Trash or the All Items).

Subscribers to Google Apps Unlimited have access to an audit log which shows the following when users visit a document:

• User—The user who performed the activity.
• Date—The date the event occurred (displayed in your domain's default timezone).
• Event Name—The action the user performed, such as View, Create, or Edit.
• IP Address—The IP address from where the user performed the activity.
• File Type—The type of Drive file the activity involves.
• Owner—The user who owns the file.
