Four weeks ago I discovered I am still shared on a Google Drive folder of photos my abusive ex controls and is actively putting photos into.
At the same time I learned there is **no way to remove your own access from a folder you have been given view-only access to**.

I have been able to reproduce this bug and have been dealing with support all month. THIS IS A REALLY BAD BUG. I can easily see how it can be exploited to harass.

Today Support said that if you "Remove" but refresh, click back or forwards you are silently re-subscribed and they aren't sure if that's a bug. IT'S A BUG!

Also, their way of "actually" "removing" yourself takes the folder off the Shared With Me page but all the contents still show up in searches and all of your access is given back as soon as you click on it from a search result. This is not "removed".

I am trying to be a cool cucumber and provide helpful responses and reproductions steps—I want this bad bug to get fixed for us all—but it's slow going and each time I have to go back into this really upsetting folder

Not only do I have to keep going into the folder, seeing the content and logs of activity, but the feeling of lack of control, the ability to not be able to remove myself from this content—from this person. It's bad!!!!

Ok, another disappointing and frustrating update in which Google says it is the intention to lock you into content controlled by another user:pic.twitter.com/Gkg4NArCBk

And to be clear, removing the folder from Shared With Me was only temporary, because of the scenario they describe I was silently re-subscribed and it is back.

I am shaking. This is so frustrating. Am I out of my mind? This is a huge bug. Anyone with your email address can view-only share something with you and lock you into content they control...forever?
