# How to Quickly Find Files or Folders in Chats

> Skip endless chat-history scrolling — use DingTalk Drive's quick lookup methods on desktop and mobile to locate files shared in chats by sender, file type, or chat session in seconds.

You may receive a large number of files at work every day. Instead of scrolling back through chat history each time, you can use the following methods to quickly find historical files in chats.

## Desktop

### Method 1

In the upper-right corner of a group chat, click the **search icon** and select **Files**. You can use search or filter conditions, and you can prioritize folder-type results, to quickly find historical files or folders from the chat.
