Starring Files
If you ever have trouble finding or searching a file in Drive using the "Star" a file feature in Drive can help you keep hard to find files in a "Starred" section of your Drive making them easily accessible when you need. This is most useful for files you often forget the exact name or cannot easily find.
A few teams have found it helpful to star their Team Meeting Notes Doc, Class Lists, and other important folders for quick and easy access.
