My Drive walkthrough
1. My Drive walkthrough
In addition to My Drive and Shared Drives, Shared with Me shows content owned by another person and that your account has view, comment or edit permissions. To access files and folders that other people have shared with you, select Shared with Me from the list of labels. If Quick Access is enabled, cards with the names of collaborators that have shared files with you will appear along with the two most recently edited files you have access to. Recent is a chronological view of your content from most recently viewed or edited files with sections for today, yesterday, earlier this week, last week, earlier this month, and so on. If you have never opened a file, it will be listed under Never. Files and folders can be starred so that they can be easily found later. The trash holds content that has been removed from Drive. We'll discuss this further shortly. The Storage view shows content in order of size from largest to smallest by default. To take advantage of Google AI and machine learning to surface important content, My Drive and Shared with Me have quick access sections. Quick Access in My Drive shows files that have been opened or edited frequently or recently. In Shared with Me, Quick Access shows collaborators that have shared content with you in cards with the files they have added to Drive or edited recently. In each view, the default view of your content is grid view with the list of the content with a section of folders, and then thumbnails of files in alphabetical order. To reverse the order of the sort, choose the arrow next to Name at the top of the list. Or to switch the list to a different type of sort, select Name and choose Last Modified, Last Modified by Me, or Last Opened by Me. To see more information about a file or folder, select it in the files list and select View Details in the top right of the files list. The Details panel will open to the right of the files list with a thumbnail preview image of the file. The owner and any collaborators will appear below the thumbnail image along with any link sharing permissions. Other information listed includes size, storage used, location, modified date, and by, creation date, and details about other permissions like ability to download and print for viewers. Select the Edit Description button to add tags, additional file information or other metadata to assist you and your collaborators with locating the content during a search. Select the Activity tab to view history from the newest changes to the file to the oldest including the initial creation, edits, renaming, and sharing permission changes made and by whom.2.
