Hi All - a bit of a long shot. As part of our ongoing exercise to reduce our exposure of files  shared to anyone with a link and also public on the web (allowfilediscovery here) we were wondering if it's possible to switch off allowfilediscovery for certain Shared Drives ? We think not, but I'm just double-checking.
Thank you as always ...

just confirming our chat @ross, it can be done with Shared drive restrictions, some info here
<SharedDriveRestrictionsFieldName> ::= adminmanagedrestrictions| copyrequireswriterpermission| domainusersonly| teammembersonly

for example, gam update teamdrive <shareddriveid> domainusersonly true

link here: Update Shared Drive ... it just so happens that other three alternatives to copyrequireswriterpermission aren't in the example

thank you Ross!
