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 Recent

- View the filtered list of files
- To find files shared outside of your organization:
