Google Drive Search

You can search for any type of files using this on Google (I believe that it shows you the most recent shared files)...

site:drive.google.com <file that you are trying to search>

i.e. If you type site:drive.google.com file type or file name a bunch of links will pop up. Google Search

*It might not be the files you are trying to look for, but it does work!!!*
It also works for anything else like pdf, docs, pictures or you can just type the file name.

Quality advice. This is known as Google Search Operators and you can see a full list here: https://ahrefs.com/blog/google-advanced-search-operators/

Shooooould work for other search engines as well, not just google

This is a good specific-use case that I hadn't really thought about. Guess the fact my google drive is indexed in google if I have it set to public is something I probably should have realized...at least, I hope it has to be set to public/shared/etc :P

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
     +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
