There is a user who has shared an 800+ MB video in my account and it has no options for deletion or rejection or anything. It does show the users full name. How can I block this user so maybe the file disappears and keep them and anyone else from sharing files with me in the future. I don't even know who they are. Disturbing that someone can randomly drop/share files in my account without my permission. I just happened to be searching for all .MP4s and it show up - was shared with me on 3/1/2024. The file does not indicate a folder - I can only find it by searching.

 

Thanks!
