Usage Tips

How do I find files?
Ask your agent to “search Drive for [filename]” or “find my presentation about Q4 results”. The agent searches both file names and content. How do I create folders?
Ask to “create a folder called Project Files” and specify the parent folder if needed. Folders help organize your Drive content.
