DLP - how do I stop users with edit access from downloading

Hi,

As a part of our DLP policy, I'm looking for a solution where we can stop users with edit access from downloading workspace files onto their devices.

Is there a way to stop users from downloading files onto their personal devices where they could then be transferred or uploaded somewhere else etc.

I did on my own research and I found that in a plan called:

"Business Standard"

thru Google Shared Drive,

>Manage members (itโ€™s a function for a whole Shared Drive โ€“ not a specific file, worth to mention โ€“ which is ok)

>Contributor (can: Add and edit files)

Despite he cannot delete a file, for instance a sheet with sensitive data

-Contributor still can print it out or even make a copy of a file or can save it on his computer.

What a waste! It makes no sense at all to meโ€ฆ

So I dig in and found a plan called:

Enterprise Standard (or Plus)

-it has some special features for DLP:

I was wondering โ€“ can anyone help me and tell me if DLPs features in Enterprise Standard can prevent files from copying, printing, downloading? (files on a shared google drive)

If yes - how to do this?

PS

By comparison, I found out that in Microsoft Office 365 documents (Iโ€™m not a fan), you can make use of the Information Rights Management (IRM) feature. This feature lets you specify who can view, print, or copy the document. Does Workspace also have this function - Prevent Screenshots (somewhere)?
