If you haven’t gotten around to organizing your Google Drive and need to find something in a hurry, you might have difficulty finding a particular file. Here’s how to quickly search Google Drive.

Google Drive Quick Access

Google Drive has a feature that sits at the top of the homepage with suggestions of recently opened or edited and potentially relevant files. This feature is called Quick Access, and it’s one of the easiest ways to find a file you regularly open. You can enable Quick Access from the Settings at any time.

From the Drive homepage, click the Settings cog in the top-right corner, and then click “Settings.”

Click the Settings cog and then click "Settings."

Scroll down to the “Suggestions” section, check the box next to “Make Relevant Files Handy When You Need Them in Quick Access,” and then click “Done.”

Enable Quick Access by checking the box next to "Make relevant files handy when you need them in Quick Access."

After you enable Quick Access, the next time you open your Drive, you’ll see a section at the top of the page with a few suggestions of relevant files.

Example showing Quick Access enabled and suggested files at the top of the page.
