To stop Google Drive email notifications, open Drive settings on a computer and uncheck the notification types you no longer want. On a phone or tablet, use the Drive app’s notification settings; iPhone and iPad also offer a master switch. To stop the email for just one file share, the person sharing the file can turn off its notification in the sharing dialog.
Turn off notifications in Google Drive on a computer
- Go to Google Drive.
- In the upper-right corner, select Settings, then select Settings again.
- Choose Notifications in the left panel.
- Uncheck the notification settings you want to stop.
Drive’s computer settings use separate checkboxes, so you can turn off selected notification types instead of disabling everything. Google says to change these settings on each computer you use. See Google’s computer instructions for Drive notifications.
Change notifications in the Google Drive app
Android
- Open the Google Drive app.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Notification settings.
- Choose the notification settings you want to change.
Google says changes made in the Docs, Sheets, or Slides apps also change these notification settings for Drive. See Google’s Android instructions.
iPhone and iPad
- Open the Google Drive app.
- Go to Menu > Settings > Notifications.
- Turn Notifications Enabled off to disable notifications.
When notifications are enabled, Google lists categories including Shared items, Request for access, Comments, and Approvals. See Google’s iPhone and iPad instructions.

What Drive notifications can include
Drive notifications can cover activity and comments in Docs, Drawings, Sheets, and Slides. Examples include a new file or folder shared with you, a comment or action-item mention, and a request for access to a file you own. On a computer, use the individual checkboxes to target the kinds of alerts you want to stop.

If you are sharing a file and do not want Drive to email the recipient about that share, uncheck the notification option in the sharing dialog before sending. This affects that share action only; it does not change the recipient’s general Drive notification preferences. See Google’s instructions for sharing Drive files.
