Find the files you uploaded

Choose My Drive in the left rail. It lists the files and folders you uploaded or created, newest activity first, without anything other people shared with you.

Two ways in

• The Content group near the top of the rail has a My Drive row.
• The Managed folders section repeats My Drive as a pinned row inside My managed folders. Both open the same place.

What lands in My Drive

Anything you upload without choosing another destination goes here, including files, folders you create with New folder, captured URLs and uploaded sites. Items you upload into a managed folder do not appear here; they belong to that folder.

My Drive is your personal container. Nobody else sees its contents unless you share an item or move it into a managed folder.

Narrow the list

The same search field and filters work here as on Home. Type, Status, Modified and Clear filters all apply, and the search field accepts tokens such as type:pdf and updated:7d. Filtering by owner is offered on Home and Shared rather than here, where every item has the same owner.

If it did not work

• A file you uploaded a moment ago may still be processing. Refresh the list; a row appears as soon as the upload is registered, before its preview is ready.
• If you chose a destination during the upload, the file is in that managed folder instead. Look under All managed folders.
• An item you archived is hidden from the default view. Open Archive to find it.
• If the area will not open at all, your role may not carry the capability behind it. Ask an Account administrator to check your access.
