In my previous post I shared directions for uploading files and folders into Google Drive. In that post I also described how I loosely organize my files in Google Drive. If you’re like me and also have a very broad interpretation of “organize,” you’ll want to use search function in Google Drive to find your old files. I use the search function to search according to keyword and filetype within my account. When I do that I can usually find what I’m looking for fairly quickly.

In this short video I demonstrate how I use the search functions in Google Drive to find files whose names I can’t remember ten years after I created them.
