Google Drive Search Shortcuts: What You Should Know

To set up keyboard shortcuts for Google Drive on your computer, go to drive.google.com. On the left side, you'll see folders and files. On the right side of the Google Drive app, you can see a keyboard shortcut to get to any of the files there. If you're having trouble typing any of these keyboard shortcuts, try adding an asterisk ( ) to the shortcut to change it to a question mark (? ). It helps to remember what the keyboard shortcut is. To remove a keyboard shortcut, go to the shortcut option's settings and change it to None.
