Drive

Whether you use Google Drive for work, school, or anything in between, it can be a real challenge to keep it organized and clutter-free.

Likewise, if you wish to un-Star a file, click on its Star icon in either of those situations. This is better than just leaving your files unorganized on your Google Drive homepage, and will help you feel like you’re maintaining your organization, as well. This feature lets you choose where the original file lives (like what specific Folder to file it under, if any) and replaces any other instances with a shortcut. It’s one thing to organize your Google Drive, but if you don’t actively maintain it, it’ll get cluttered and chaotic again, and nobody wants that! A good rule of thumb is that if it’s been a few years since you last accessed the file (and it’s not anything too important, like a tax document), you can probably delete it. You can use it to house any documents you create, like spreadsheets, word documents, slideshows, and forms.
