Since the Google platform was created more than 20 years ago, this company has been in charge of providing people with functions and tools for daily life. For example, we all know that this platform is completely easy to use; and in addition, it offers free services and is even a means of work.
A service that we want to talk about in this article is the Google Drive platform , one of the free tools that is responsible for storing large amounts of data in a cloud on the Internet. To use this tool, you only have to download it or, failing that, locate the service using the Google search engine and thus log in with your email.
It is important that we keep this Google service updated , since in this way we will be able to take advantage of and benefit from all the services that it can provide us. Within the Google Drive platform we can order our files, and here we are going to explain how you can do it.
On the other hand, as Google Drive stores millions of data, including photos, videos and documents, it is necessary that every certain period we delete what we no longer need or make a backup of it . This point is something that we can always take into account and that we know how to do it, and here we will explain it to you in detail.

How do I order my files in Google Drive?
If we want to order the files that we have saved in Google Drive, the same platform gives us several options to do it and that they are ordered as we want. In the first place, we can arrange them in an alphabetical order , that is, by the name of each file, so it will be easier to locate them later.
Two other options you give to order them are similar; first, by the date someone (other than you) modified them; or, by the last time you modified them. A fourth option for sorting is by the last files you opened ; and if you want to order the way you see the folders it can be in the form of a list or a grid.
