# Configuring Google Drive Policies

Exfiltration policies allow you to monitor download events across your Google Drive environment. Through real-time download monitoring, you can identify insider risk and anomalous behaviour before it escalates to large scale security incidents.  You can monitor download activity for specific users or user groups, specific drives containing valuable sensitive assets, or downloads of any files containing sensitive data types as discovered and classified by Nightfall's ML/AI based detectors.

You can set up your policies to monitor only, to educate users in real-time about your download and data governance policies, or to automatically suspend user access to the Google Workspace to enforce zero tolerance policies.

The detailed steps to configure the Google Drive Exfiltration policy is explained in the following documents.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.nightfall.ai/data-exfiltration-prevention/exfiltration_google_drive/policies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
