The popular cloud storage service Google Drive has recently introduced a new feature called “Quick Access”. This feature is very similar to Windows 10’s Quick Access feature which enables you quickly get access to more frequent files that you used recently. Google introduced this feature in September, 2016 as an effort to enhance Drive usability. Quick Access feature uses A.I. and Machine Learning to understand which documents you are going to open next and present them on top of your Folders and Files of Drive as shortcut. Your Drive activity, behavior everything is tracked to predict Quick files.
According to Google, it “saves 50 percent off the average time it takes to get to the right file by eliminating the need to search for it.” At first, this feature was only exclusive to G Suite users with Drive App for Android and iOS. Eventually Google enabled it for general public. However this was not available for Web version of Google Drive until now.
Delete access to folders (which deletes their access to the fires in that folder) 2. Then delete access in single files. Do so by choosing “folder” in the Type dropdown. This cuts down on the number of shared items in your search list (10 folders vs 100s of separate files) and therefore the chance of GSuite crashing etc. There's setting in Google Drive, Settings General Suggestions, turn it off to disable 'Quick access' panel: Note: after clicking on Done, refresh the page to apply changes. Share follow. I am assuming you mean the android Google Drive app. If so, here are a couple of things to try: Click the three dots in the upper right hand corner and click on refresh. Hold down the file under quick access with your finger - Make sure the available offline is off and then scroll down to the bottom and choose remove.
Anyway, this feature might be annoying too where privacy is a big concern, such as in a place where you are working with your teammates and Quick Access showing your private or sensitive files. Or you keep such kind of files where this feature does not make any sense for you. So here I’ll show you how to remove Quick Access from Google Drive on both Drive App and Web (in desktop browser).
