google: Google Drive’s latest feature to make it easier for users to remember stored file location – Times of India

Google Drive is one of the most widely used cloud storage solutions. It is even more popular due to its deeper integration with Google apps and services. However, as it starts getting crowded with files, folders, documents, photos and other stuff, it becomes harder to remember where exactly you’ve stored a file.
Google has a solution now. The company has added a new location column in the search results and other sections of Drive’s web interface.
The new locations column is placed on the right most side of the view after the name, owner, last modified date and file size in search results. It is also available in Recent, Starred and Trash web views.
According to the company, the new feature will not only make it easier for users to find a file and understand the file structure, but it will also help them differentiate similarly-named files stored in several locations.
The ‘locations’ feature will initially roll out to Workspace customers and it will be available widely by the end of the month. It is also expected that Google will expand this feature to other Google account users including personal Google accounts.
For those unaware, Google recently added common keyboard shortcuts to Google Drive which include copy, paste and cut options. The feature is also available for the web version of Drive and users can now use the regular file management shortcuts to manage files on Google Drive.
