How to Hide Files in Google Drive

Google drive is a top choice for many for storing important files and folders on cloud storage. The cloud storage service is completely free to use, and you can access all saved files from anywhere using your Google Account.

Being backed by Google itself, Google Drive comes built-in on Android smartphones, allowing users to upload files directly to the cloud storage from their phones. If you utilize Google Drive to store your important files, you may want to hide files even on Google Drive.

If you don’t share your Google Account with anyone, you don’t need to worry about anyone accessing your private files. However, if other users have access to your Google Account, it’s best to hide files stored on Google Drive.
