New Google Drive view lets you see recent activity in one place

A new view rolling out in Google Drive shows all recent activity in one place, including all pending access requests, recent comments, and approvals for files. This new view, now available as a standalone page, is accessible from the left-hand navigation panel within Google Drive.

To view your recent activity and take action, navigate to drive.google.com > click on "Activity" in the left-hand navigation.

• Click on "Manage access" to take action on your pending access requests (This setting will not appear if pending access requests do not exist).
• Click on the "Review" option to take action on your pending approvals (Pending approvals will appear in the "Approvals" section).
• Click on "Open comment" to take action on your pending comments. Comment-related activity for the last 30 days will appear in the "Comments" section.

The extended rollout of this update has already commenced for Rapid Release domains and may take up to 15 days to be fully visible. The Scheduled Release domains, on the other hand, will start receiving the update on October 30, 2023. The rollout for this group will be gradual and will take up to 15 days for full visibility.

The new view in Google Drive will be available to all Google Workspace customers.
