Continuing the topic of search operators, today we will leave you with a few ready-made queries for finding useful information on Google Drive. It is no secret that people place many publicly available documents, including photos and videos, on external drives.
If the user has not carefully checked the privacy settings of documents or folders, there is a chance to find something interesting and useful, but let’s not forget that people put anything on their disks, so we should not download unknown archives to our main PC, because there are virtual machines for this.
Search Google Sheets by keyword :
site:docs.google.com “/spreadsheets/d/” “search query”
Search Google Docs by keyword:
site:docs.google.com inurl:/document/d/ “search query"
Search for files on Google Drive by keyword :
site:drive.google.com inurl:/file/d/ "search query"
Search folders by keyword:
site:drive.google.com inurl:/drive/folders/ “search query”
Such methods are always a lottery, but sometimes, it is worth using them, especially if you are collecting data on an organization. Happy research.
