Hi...

This issue has cropped up lots of times unfortunately (search the list archive)

This is on their blog:

https://www.malwarepatrol.net/block-lists-protect-against-ransomware-infections/

They really should have a main block  list with Google drive links in... 
and a separate one for the whole Google drive domain (for people that don't 
mind the high FP's)

This hasn't been fixed as far as I can see since 2018-ish...

Obviously there are script tweaks to remove Google drive sigs before moving 
to the ClamAV database folder...

... Or just stop using them and save yourself the headache.

Their sig name changes each time too, otherwise I could add a sig to the 
unofficial mirrors to stop it.

When you report the issue to them make sure you report the blocked domain 
as drive dot Google dot com etc. as the normal text domain might get 
blocked using their own signatures.

Sorry I can't help much more.

Cheers,

Steve
