Google has added file previews to Google Drive, a  feature which will help users quickly find the document they want.

Previews will show up automatically when you open photos, videos or PDF files. For Google documents, you can also get the preview by right-clicking on the file name and selecting “preview”.

The preview window offers a fair share of options as well. Once you open it, you can check out other files by clicking on arrows on either side. You can also watch videos or scroll through multi-page documents right there in the preview window. Finally, when previewing a document, you can also zoom in, select and copy text, share, download, print or open a file for editing.

If you don’t see the feature in your Google Drive yet, don’t worry; Google says it will roll out to all users over the “next few days.”
