Files App + Google Drive

The Files app has so much to offer. Sometimes I get annoyed I need to switch apps to find things in places like Google Drive. Did you know you can see all your files in Drive in the Files app?

Open the Files app.

Click the ice cream cone in the upper left.

Choose Edit Sidebar.

Toggle on Google Drive. It should be set to green.

Now you will see all your Drive folders!

Access it by clicking on Google Drive on the left under Locations.

A super useful tip, find a folder you use a lot in your Drive.

Long press the folder.

I usually choose Favorite, you can find it about halfway down the list.

Now you can find your most-used folders under the Favorites section.
