Google: Automatic Drive Digest Emails - "Your Drive Digest"

Summary

This article provides information regarding the Google Drive digest emails sent to you when you haven't been active in seven days and have unviewed shared files in Drive.

Body

Environment

U-M Google, Drive

Issue

I received an email from Google with the subject line "Your Drive Digest - Unviewed files shared with you." What is this? Can I unsubscribe?

Resolution

If you haven’t been active on Google Drive for seven days and have multiple unviewed shared files from collaborators, Google will send you a reminder email summarizing the files. The digest email will include information about the unviewed files that were shared with you and a link to “See more activity” on the Drive Activity page

This feature will be on by default. To adjust your settings for the email digest, do one of the following:

  • Open the digest email in Gmail, scroll to the footer at the bottom of the email, and click "Unsubscribe here."
  • Go to Google Drive, click the setting menu (gear icon) in the top right corner, select Settings, click Notifications from the left sidebar, and uncheck the “Get summaries about recent files shared with you via the Drive digest" box.
