Google Drive files that are shared with you show up under Shared With Me.
Specifically, Shared with me in your Google Drive is where you’ll find the files, folders, and Google documents that have been shared with you:
However, Shared with me only shows items that were shared with you explicitly. Therefore, you won’t find items here that were shared with the “Public” or “Anyone with the link.” (You can find those items by searching in the All items view.) If you’ll be referencing a shared document often, you can drag it into My Drive so that it appears there as well.
Tip: Are you looking for a folder that is shared with you? Click one of the column headings in the Shared with me view to put all the folders that were shared with you first.
Steps to view shared with me files:
- Click on Shared with me in the left column. Identify the files in this folder.
- Locate a file you know that has been shared with you.
