Find & Filter Files Based on Date Modified in Google Drive
Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service that enables users to store and access files online. The service syncs stored documents, photos and more across all of the user's devices, including mobile devices, tablets and PCs.
Google Drive enables the storage and sharing of files within traditional folder hierarchies and you have the ability to locate folders and files via traditional navigation methods (e.g. clicking down through a folder hierarchy).
The search function in Google Drive is more powerful than earlier to find files and folders quickly, but there are some hidden parameters to refine your search results.

To refine the search even more, exclude folders by adding "--type:folder". Here's the entire formula in action:
