When you locate the email, just click the included Google Drive link and, if you are greeted with a message stating you don’t have permission to access the file, you know that the owner has revoked sharing. Just search Gmail for the document title and you should find it. If, however, you don’t remember who the owner is (or the owner has changed hands), a fallback is to search your Gmail for the message that informed you the original owner had shared the document with you. The easiest way to check is to simply ask the document owner.

You can find the Trash folder under the More link in the left column of Drive. These two facts make Google Drive document recovery somewhat more interesting than restoring other lost Google Apps data.īecause Google Drive does not automatically empty its Trash folder-unlike every other Google App, which permanently deletes trashed items after 30 days-the first place you should look for a missing Google Drive file is the Trash. Google Drive is different from most other Google Apps in two ways: Google Drive has much more serious sharing and ownership controls than other Google Apps Google Drive does not automatically empty its Trash folder.
