Until then, I’ll be keeping my Quick Access disabled. That way I can choose to open the Quick Access folder and still keep potential sensitive information private. I would rather see Quick Access as a folder that you can open rather than documents displayed at the top. with -drive-import-formats docx,odt,txt, all files having these extension would result in a document represented as a docx file.This brings the additional risk of overwriting a document, if multiple files.

Here’s how to disable Quick Access on your Google Drive. If you use Google Drive to save work-related files, it may be in your best interest to disable Quick Access to prevent coworkers from accidentally seeing your personal files. However, this can become a problem if you have sensitive information that you don’t want others to view. This feature is meant to save time so that you don’t have to sift through various folders to find the file you want to view. Quick Access uses machine learning to predict documents you may want to access and displays them at the top of My Drive. If you logged into your Google Drive account recently, you might have noticed a new feature called Quick Access.
