View File Location

In Google Drive, you can see the exact location of the file. This is useful for opening the correct file when multiple files have similar names. Also, it will make it easier for you to jump directly to the folder where the file is stored. This feature is coming in June 2022 for all Google Drive users. From the results of VOI monitoring, this feature is available to all users if you open Google Drive via a web PC or laptop you can see the location of files in Recent, Starred, Trash, and Search.

Search Google Meet Content

If you use Google Meet for video calls or meetings with a team, you can open Google Drive for items related to those meetings such as recordings of meetings. Instead of browsing through folders and files one by one, you can find all Google Meet content in Drive using a simple search.

Go to the Search field at the top of Google Drive and type: app: "Google Meet". Press Enter or Return and you will see all your Google Meet search results. This gives you quick access to things like recordings, transcripts, reports, and notes.
