Google has recently rolled out cut, copy and paste shortcut support in Google Drive. The new shortcut now allows users to use the traditional keyboard shortcut to manage files, documents stored in the web version of Google Drive.
Those who don’t know, until Google added the new keyboard shortcut to Drive, users were required to right click on the file to be able to use these features. Alternatively, the options are also available in the Edit option at the top.
Keyboard shortcuts:
Copy: Ctrl + C/Cmd + C
Cut: Ctrl + X/Cmd + X
Paste: Ctrl + V/Cmd + V
