Files in the top level, and folders in Shared Drives

10 November 2026

Files can now sit at the top level of My Drive and of a Shared Drive, and Upload files works there.
Folders can be renamed, moved, copied and deleted in Shared Drives, and moved or copied from one drive to another; so can files. Moving needs write access to both drives, copying needs read access to the source and write access to the destination.
File Versions and Recently deleted work in Shared Drives. A deleted folder is listed as one entry and Restore brings it back with everything in it.
A folder operation whose size is not known yet shows a moving bar instead of a full one, and long names wrap between words.
