How to Hide Files in Google Drive

If you are still unsure about the security system created by Google Drive, there is nothing wrong with making your own security, such as hiding it, so that it is not easily seen by people.

Although there are no special features offered by Google Drive, you can hide important files that you have by changing the thumbnails.

The first step you can take is to open Google Drive through a browser on your laptop or computer. You can use Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or other browsers.

Once logged in to the Google Drive page, you can go to the directory of the file you want to hide in Google Drive, and search for the file you want.

After finding the file you want to hide, right-click on the file and select the "Manage Versions" option, so a number of menus will appear to choose from.

Select the "Upload New Versions" option and upload another file such as a new image or photo. At a later stage, Google will automatically change the thumbnail of the secret file that you want to hide with the new image or photo.

Right-click on your secret file, then select the "Manage Versions" option. Click the three-dot icon on the secret file you want to hide, then tick the "Keep Forever" option.

To be more secure, you can change the file extension used. For example, if you hide a jpg file the user can convert it to a pdf or other. That way other people will not know that the file you have changed.

That's the way you can do to hide files in Google Drive. You can perform the steps above to make the files you save more secure.
