Google brings DRM and ‘previewing without sign-in’ to Google Drive

Today Google announced a handful of updates rolling out to Drive users, including DRM management and new file sharing options.

Primarily, these updates were designed for businesses. In total, Google’s giving Drive for Work users more sophisticated file sharing settings; the ability to prevent files from being downloaded, copied, or printed; and custom admin alerts.

Only two of the features above — DRM and the ability to share files with non-Drive users — will roll out to all users. The rest, Google tells us, will be limited to Google Drive for Work and Google Apps for Work customers.
