A convenient update to Google Drive was released yesterday afternoon. You can now search within a folder in your Google Drive account. You can do this in one of two ways. The easiest way is to right-click on a folder’s name and then select search. The second option is to open a folder and then use the search box at the top the page.
Like almost every update to Google Drive, this new search feature will be rolled-out gradually over the next couple of weeks. So if you don’t see the new search option today, you will see it before too long.
