# How do I see recently added, changed or opened files in Delta Drive?

Open **Recent** — it's where the web version lands, and the Mac window has it in the sidebar. **Recent by** chooses the question:

- **Added** — what arrived most recently.
- **Updated** — what changed most recently, even if it was added long ago.
- **Opened** — what was last opened or downloaded, including by people you shared it with.

Narrow it with **Show** (documents, images, video…), **Within** (today to a year) and **Find by name**, and sort by date, name, size or kind. Folders never appear, because a folder's date changes whenever anything inside does. Double-click a row to jump to the file in My Drive.
