In an blog post published yesterday Google stated, “searching for content by owner is the most popular way to search for content in Drive today.” That’s why they a new file organization option is coming soon to your Google Drive dashboard. In the next couple of weeks the “shared with me” section of your Google Drive dashboard will feature a list of the people who have shared files with you and the files themselves will appear under the owner’s name.
This change will be rolled-out over the next couple of weeks. The change will apply to the browser-based and mobile app versions of Google Drive.
This isn’t a major change to Google Drive, but it is worth noting that you might start to see a change in the “shared with me” section of your Google Drive account.
