We know this is a serious issue and we're working to improve our spam detection and prevention. We are constantly working to make our detection better and give users more options for managing the spam that sneaks through. Please report the files to remove them and help train our systems ( ). But all Google will do is spout platitudes. So the poor users howl into the void - desperate for Google to respond. In typical Google fashion, there's no support forthcoming for users who are inundated with these messages. The notifications simply don't appear there. There's also no way to report the spam from the web version of Drive. Let me be me clear, just as Zawinski's law says ' Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail' - so every Google app expands to be a vector for spam. What about the detail pane? That'll have something, surely? If I'm stupid enough to open the spam file, there is a context menu but - again - no way to report spam.

If I go to the list of notification in the Android apps, there's no option to report that the notification is spam.

The notifications come direct to my Android phone via the Drive app - they don't appear in my Gmail spam folder. Recently, I've been getting a lot of spam notifications from Google Drive.
