Embedded Files
Google Drive’s powerful search and trash recovery mean it’s almost impossible to lose anything. Even the most organized drives get messy. Whether you’re searching by file type, keyword, or sorting through your trash, you'll find what you need—even if you accidentally deleted it last week.
Remember 💡 Your trash will be emptied every 30 days! So don't wait longer than a week!
