Google Drive has made life alot easier for a multitude of computer users.
Whether you want to ‘share’ some data with your friend by transferring it to the cloud and then allowing them access it or you just want to save your data in the cloud just to be safe against your laptop’s hard drive dying all of a sudden, Google Drive offers a safe and totally reliable solution. Same goes for a business executive who must stay in touch with his organization’s working even if he’s 35,000 feet up in the air or if somebody is just another office employee who desperately needs to collaborate with various colleagues simultaneously on an important document and get it done within a very tight timeframe, Google Drive will cater to all of them.
Being extremely fond of using Google Drive and using it on a regular basis means you will quickly accumulate tons of data in no time. Searching for a particular file / folder in such a scenario can be particularly tedious unless you’ve divided your data across several categories and properly fine tune it.
There are two ways you can search the files in your Google Drive storage.
If your computer is synced with your Google Drive account, searching for a file or a folder becomes a lot easier. However, you should know that this method will only compare the file names and not other file attributes (such as content in it, owner etc) since Google Documents are essentially stored on the cloud, while only a shortcut is placed on the synced folder in your computer.
Google provides a very well abled searching facility within the web interface of Google Drive. Just click on the Search Drive area and it will reveal plenty of options to help you with your task.
The filters offered by Google Drive can be classified into 2 categories, namely Basic Filters and Advanced Filters.
Simply click on the Search Drive area and then select the More search tools option from the bottom of the menu that opened.
And you can even specify a custom date range. Just click the Custom option from the Date modified drop down menu and then select the start and end dates for the scan to be targeted at.
If you want to mention a particular owner, you can use the Specific person option and mention that person’s name or email address.
