Search and filtering

Search helps you find files without scrolling through long lists.

Keyword search

1. Open the search input on the top bar.

2. Enter file names, extension, or known fragments.

3. Use partial names where helpful.

Filtering best practices

• Search by extension when you need media or documents only.
• Use short unique terms from file names.
• Try folder context first, then global search if not found.

Common patterns

• `report` for documents.
• `2026` for year-based files.
• `invoice` for finance-related uploads.

Not found?

• Confirm you are in correct drive (Drive/Workspace/Shared).
• Clear filters and retry.
• Check spelling and hidden characters.
