26.5.2022 | Google Drive
You can now use familiar keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + C (or ⌘ + C on Mac), Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V to copy, cut and paste Google Drive files in your Chrome browser. This saves you time by allowing you to copy one or more files and move them to new locations in Drive, and across multiple tabs, with fewer clicks.
Additionally, a link to the file and its title will also be captured when copying a file, which allows you to easily paste them into a document or an email.
New keyboard shortcuts in Drive:
Move files: Ctrl + X, Ctrl + V
Duplicate files: Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V
Create a shortcut: Ctrl + C, Ctrl + Shift + V
Open files or folders in a new tab: Ctrl + Enter
