AutoCAD and AWS

Our school has recently installed AWS Appstream so we can offer software virtually.  The one issue I am having is with file creation.  Our students use Google drive to store files.  When they save their AutoCAD files, they are also getting ALL the .bak and .dwl files as well.  Is there a way to not have these files created, or at least not seen?  Is it a AutoCAD issue, a Google issue, or AWS issue?  I don't recall them showing up under local circumstances in the past.  Only the .dwg files were seen in the past.  It is just starting to create confusion with the students and their folders are getting quite busy.  Any solutions would be appreciated.

Set ISAVEBAK to 0 to prevent .BAK file creation.  

This may work to disable .DWL/.DWL2 file creation, but I have not tested it.

It may be helpful to set the Drive search filter Item Name to .dwg if you are searching for files outside of AutoCAD.
