A new look for Drives, with search, ZIP downloads and Undo
11 November 2026
- Drives opens on a list of your drives, My Drive and Shared Drives. The page heading is the path, and its last part is a place menu with the actions for where you are; New makes folders and uploads files. See Open a folder and The place menu.
- The tables fit the space they have, with the columns Name, Date modified and File size, sorting by a click on a header, a row menu for each entry, and Download in each file’s row. Folders show how many files they hold. See Sort, filter and search.
- Delete no longer asks first. It shows Undo instead. See Create folders and change files.
- Uploads are rows at the top of the table instead of a panel. See Upload files.
- Select several entries with checkboxes, Shift and Select all, and use the selection bar. See Select several entries.
- Filter chips narrow a folder by type and date, and search finds files and folders by name in all your drives, in one drive or in one folder. See Filter and Search.
- Download as ZIP packs a folder, a drive or a selection. The ZIP is kept for one day, its link works for 5 minutes, only you can open it, and it doesn’t count as storage used. See Download folders and several files as a ZIP.
- In Recently deleted, Delete for good removes a file or folder with all its File Versions, for good. Only the user of My Drive and the owners of a Shared Drive can do it. See Delete for good.
- Skip to files is the first Tab stop in Drives. See Keyboard.
- The Shared Drives list shows your access, how many people reach each drive, the date modified and the storage used, and can be sorted and filtered. See Create a Shared Drive.
- You can mention files and folders with
@on Start too. See Mention files and folders with @. - A drive’s usage follows a change at once when someone saves or deletes a file in the Web App or the agent does; only what code in the Sandbox writes is counted a little later. See See how much the drives hold and How much a drive holds.
