Google Drive for creating quick access shortcuts from the desktop
Google Drive is one of the most popular online storage services available today. However, one of its weaknesses is that access and quick viewing of files is not intuitive, especially on PCs.
After installing Google Drive on your computer, you must open the "My Computer" interface to see the directory of the service. The most convenient way is to create a quick access shortcut to this folder.
To make it easier for users, Google has just released a new Google Drive update that creates shortcuts to Docs, Sheets, and Slides document types right on the user's desktop. These shortcut icons also appear in the Google Drive menu in the Start bar.
Currently, Google has just begun to apply this feature, so the number of users has not been upgraded much. In the next few weeks, the update will be released widely. This similar update version is currently not available for Mac computers.
