Clicking on the folder name itself will navigate you instantly to that folder. If, for example, you were to click on the folder name theyerlp, you would be brought to that folder (assuming you have the appropriate access.)
Search
Searches allow you to search for files within your GBShare account. You may search for files you own as well as files that are not owned by you but for which you have access permission. There are three types of searches: Quick Search, Search and Advanced Search. Quick searches are based on the file name and file contents only; Search includes expanded options; and Advanced Searches can be conducted based on multiple file criteria. You may both save and edit search criteria so you can easily execute the same search in the future.
