Google Drive for desktop version 85.0.13.0 introduces a new file recovery tool to find and recover missing files. The tool scans the entire drive, including unsynced files caused by a previous bug, and restores them from backups. Users are notified when the recovery process starts and completes. The restored files are stored in a new folder called 'Google Drive Recovery'. Google's native solution is expected to be more efficient than third-party options, and users can provide feedback through the Drive app if they encounter any issues.
