This How.com.vn teaches you how to unshare a folder in the Google Drive app for iPhone and iPad.
Steps
Open Google Drive. It's the app with the icon that resembles a green, yellow, and blue triangle usually located on your home screen.- If you don't have Google Drive on your iPhone you can download it from the App Store and sign in with your Google account.
Tap ⋯. It's across from the folder you want to unshare. This opens a pop-up menu from the bottom of the screen.- If a folder is shared you'll see a white icon of a person on the folder.
Tap. It's the circular icon with a lowercase "i" in it, located to the right of the folder name. This opens the more information page.
Tap Link sharing is ON. It's the first option next to the green chain icon.- If this option says "Link sharing is OFF" then you can skip this step.
Tap Turn link sharing OFF. This turns of Link Sharing for the folder.- Just because Link Sharing is now turned off does not mean the folder and its contents are no longer shared with other people. You will still have to remove any specific users the folder is shared with.
Tap any users listed below. Tap any users listed below the "Who has access" heading to select them. This opens a small pop-up window from the bottom of the screen.
Tap Remove this user. It's the last option at the bottom of the screen. This removes the user from the shared folder and they will no longer be able to access it.- Repeat this process for any other users the folder is shared with (excluding yourself).
