Hide Google Drive features

Disables various functions of Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms and Sites. Useful in classrooms.

The purpose of this app is to allow managed students the ability to use the Google Suite Office Productivity tools while providing protection from possibly objectionable internet data content. This app offers this protection by providing a set of options that would allow limiting the following: internet image searches and insertions, access to internet research text, and internet video searches and insertions. Additional options include: not allowing sharing, blocking insertion of comments, blocking form submissions and blocking feeds within Google Sheets. Administrators may choose to either use the app with a config file to control what is blocked, or install the app with no config file - and all options will then be set to ‘blocked’. If using the config file, (see code at the bottom to be added to the extension policy) administrators will select ‘true’ for all options where blocking is desired. Anything not set to ‘true’ will default to ‘false’ (or ‘no blocking’). Below is the list of discrete functions that may be blocked.
