If you or your team uses Google Drive to create, share, or store items, the Activity Stream in Google Drive allows you to easily view changes to your files/folders. The Activity Stream can also be a helpful way to find that file you just created but don't remember the name of!
- From Google Drive, click on the information icon
near the top right to view recent changes, including moving/removing, renaming, uploading, sharing/unsharing, and editing/commenting on files or folders (to see new activity of a specific document or folder, first select that item from drive to view activity for only it)
- For forms, when a form is filled out, you will appear in the Activity stream as the person who "edited" the item.
