Google Drive can be an overwhelming soup pot of files, folders and mystic unicorns.  It can be frustrating to find what you are looking for in a timely way.  Thankfully, there are some quick and easy ways to make finding your files easier.  The first of these ways is "Starring" your files. 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.

Removing a Star To remove the star, simple right click on the document name in Google Drive and select Remove
