Shortcuts, which are now generally available, will also require those of you who build on the Google Drive API to plan for some upcoming changes. Shortcut files can be stored anywhere in Google Drive, including a shared drive or an individual user’s “My Drive.” These efforts have resulted in Drive shortcuts, which are files that act as pointers to other files in Google Drive.
The G Suite team has been working hard to make it easier to organize and share content in Google Drive, and help direct users to relevant files across various drives.
