So, I've just seen a new feature of Google Drive File Stream on Mac that allows 'real-time presence in Microsoft Office'.

Does anyone know how to manage this centrally? It seems to require some accessibility settings to be turned on, which requires an administrator permission.

Thanks

Creating a custom config profile for the domain com.google.drivefs.settings will disable it for all users, which is what we wanted.

Do you have a way to enable it for all users? I got a support ticket on this today.

Thanks!
