You can “star” folders and files in Google Drive in order to make them easier to find. I would relate this to bookmarking websites for quick reference. Once a file is “starred” it can be found quickly by clicking on the Starred section on the left side of your google drive window.
Adding a “star” to a file/folder from Google Drive.
- Right click on the file/folder in Google Drive.
