Filter by people or groups in Google Drive

What’s changing

We’re adding a new filter to Google Drive that lets you see which files or folders have been shared with specific people or groups. 
Whether you’re trying to share a file with more audiences or reduce oversharing, this feature will give you greater visibility into who has access to files within and outside of your organization. 

Getting started 

Admins: There is no admin control for this feature. The groups that appear in the People filter are based on the target audiences set up at the domain level by admins.  End users: To find files shared with a person or group in drive.google.com: Navigate to My Drive, Shared drives, Shared with me, or RecentClick on “People” filterSearch for a person or group who the files are shared with in the filterSelect “Shared with”View the filtered list of filesTo find files shared outside of your organization: Navigate to My Drive, Shared drives, Shared with me, or RecentClick on “People” filterSelect “External users”View the filtered list of filesTo find files you own that are shared with a specific person or group: Navigate to My Drive, Shared drives, Shared with me, or RecentClick on “People” filterSearch for yourself and select “Owner”Click on “People” filterSearch for a person or group who the files are shared with in the filterView the filtered list of files
