Google is preparing to beta test new search filters in Google Drive, which will hopefully make it easier to find the exact file youre looking for. Dubbed search chips, the feature adds a line of filters to the top of the Drive interface, letting you limit your search by things like file type, last modification date, or which other users are associated with a specific file. <\/p>\n
