   How to Hide Content in "Shared Items"
   
   If you hide the content within "Shared Items," there may be discrepancies in understanding with the administrator. As a general rule, when content from My Drive is shared, please request the "Owner" to set the permissions correctly, and when content from a Shared Drive is shared, please request the "Administrator" to set the permissions correctly.
   With this in mind, the following methods can be used to hide content.
   

   • Content in My Drive:
     Drag & drop it into [Trash] in the left menu.

   • Content in Shared Drive:
     For items shared with you, if the permissions are set to "Viewer" or "Contributor" (without delete permission), and the content is visible as an icon, you can drag & drop it into [Trash] in the left menu.

     • ---Steps to Confirm the Administrator of Shared Drive Content---
       
       1. Right-click the relevant content.
       2. Click [Folder Information].
       3. Click [Details].
       4. Hover your cursor over the "Creator" field in the details menu, and after a few seconds, the administrator’s information, including their email address, will appear.
       

8. Recent：
   Items recently displayed/worked on are displayed in order of date of final update.

9. Starred：
   These are files, folders, and Google documents with stars attached.

10. Spam：

11. Trash：
    All items deleted from inside Google Drive are displayed in order of final modification time. Items that can be deleted are only items you own.
