Follow the steps to set up Drive File Stream. Let me warn you with some of the disadvantages of using Drive File Stream. You can change it to X or some other alphabetical letter from the Settings app. Tap on Settings at the upper right corner and go to Preferences.

Users can also limit the download rate and bandwidth usage from the Network Settings option in the app preference.

If the file has been explicitly trashed, the user who trashed it. To use the feature, open the sharing dialogue from any Google Drive file and click on Advanced in the lower right corner. There are some more restrictions you should be aware of. First off, this is only available on Google Drive for the Web though presumably it will arrive on other platforms sometime soon.

Being the file owner is a requirement though if you really want, you could make a copy of the file, limit it, and then re-share it.
