Hi community,

I wanted to hear from those who have experience with Google Drive on the mac. For this context, i'll be using the Crome browser, assuming that one is best.

It's been a while since I used Google Drive, but I've never used it on Mac. However, I feel more comfortable using it on Mac rather than windows.

Anyone know easy ways to locate a folder and then files within that folder?

Thanks for any help.

At least from experience, the app will be way easier, their web interface is, clunky putting it mildly.

The web view is okay for occasional viewing, but install the app you'll get the regular finder and the app is accessible because it's in electron.

I wasn't aware there was a Google Drive app for Mac, unless you're talking about iOS. Could you clarify?

In the folder there's a Google Sheet I have to fill out for a class I'm taking, just for some context.
