No, it is not the shortcuts you see in the Start Menu, rather it is found in Windows 10’s File Explorer. By default there is an icon on the Taskbar for the File Explorer, but if you removed it, click on the Start Button and select the File Explorer shortcut or press the key combo Windows + E, to open File Explorer.
Notice the left pane of the File Explorer, it is divided into several parts: Quick Access, OneDrive Folder, This PC and Network.
Quick Access as the name suggests, has shortcuts for folders which you want to open, without navigating through its parent folders.
The Quick Access menu itself consists of two parts:
Pinned items.
Frequently Accessed Folders.
And as the above two options suggest, there are two ways to add or remove items from the Quick Access menu.
Pinned items:
These are shortcuts to folders which you have pinned to the Quick Access menu. This would be highly useful for folders you work with often, such as the Downloads Folder, or Movies, Music, Ebook folder or basically any folder which you wish to add. Note however, that you cannot pin an individual file to the Quick Access menu, you can only pin the folder it contains.
Unlike the icons and tiles which you have pinned to the Taskbar, or the Start Menu, the items which have been pinned to the Quick Access menu have a pin icon besides their name.
Frequently Accessed Folders:
Unlike Pinned items, which you add manually, the frequently accessed folders feature automatically adds the shortcuts to the folders you use often. The shortcuts work similar to pinned items, but will be replaced by folders which you use more often.
Frequently Accessed Folders has a sub-group called Recent Files, which provides direct access to the files which you recently opened. To view these, click on the “Quick Access” icon in the File Explorer.

As we all know, Google Drive is the world most popular easy to use free online data storage service. And we can store data on it directly from the web version, via desktop or mobile application software or with third-party apps. We can easily upload our important files (Documents, Videos, Audios, Photos etc.) via Web, Desktop & mobile app but if you want to use third party apps for backing up data on Google-Drive then you must need to allow Google Drive account access to the third party apps eg: PicMonkey, WeVideo, Draw.io, Obvibase, Audio Cutter, SlideRocket, CloudConvert, Wappwolf Automator for Google Drive, Pixlr Editor, DocHub, HelloFax, Drive Notepad, Gantter for Drive, Lucidpress Layout and Design, WhatsApp, SuparBackup etc.
These are trustable apps, so you can give account access without any tension. When you allow Drive permission once then they can access the Drive for forever. Sometimes, It is not a good idea that gives Google Drive access for forever to a third party app. This may be a security hole because Third Party apps can delete or add data without your permission. Hence, It is good for your account security, disallow those apps from Google-Drive access If you are not using any of them. So today I’ll show how you can deactivate third-party access from your Google-Drive account.
