Last time, we talked about the Priority section of Google Drive, which is split into: Priority (the Google-determined content) and the Workspaces (the user-determined content) areas. Today's two sections in Google Drive are going to be a bit similar in nature:
The Recent and Starred Sections in Google Drive
Tips for end-users and small businesses:
The function of the Recent section in Google Drive is to surface files that you used most recently. It provides an easy way to find and open a file you have closed only to realize a bit later that you still need it.
The Starred section on the other hand, is almost like a bookmark. When you right-click (PC) or two-finger click (Mac) on a file or folder in Google Drive and select Add to Starred, you are actively bookmarking the item for easy access.

You can also star a file directly from within the file by clicking on the Star icon next to its name.
💎 KloudGem 2:
You can even search among Starred items from the Search dropdown.
💎 KloudGem 3:
To remove a file/folder from the Starred section, right click/two-finger click on it in Google Drive and select Remove from Starred. Or in the case of a file, simply click the Star icon when you have the file open.
