Google Drive on the web offers several ways to filter and view your files, folders and Google Docs. These filters help you find your files more easily. Here's a list of the filters you'll find in the left-hand navigation:

My Drive
  • Everything in your Google Drive that you’ve created, synced and uploaded. You can automatically sync My Drive to the Google Drive folder on your computer.
Shared with me
  • All of the files, folders and Google Docs that have been shared with you. To sync files in this view, move them to My Drive.
  • The Shared with me filter doesn't include files shared to a mailing list or files set to 'Anyone with the link' or 'Public' (unless the file has been shared directly to your email address).
