    In case of long list of users,  
   
     1. Use search bar: **Type the name** of the user and **press Enter**
        
         ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-29-38-6896-AM.png?width=670&height=304&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-29-38-6896-AM.png) 
     2. Use filters like Account name, Domain name, User status, Backup status, etc. like in the top section.
        
        ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-29-52-7330-AM.png?width=670&height=305&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-29-52-7330-AM.png)

    ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-06-7909-AM.png?width=670&height=307&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-06-7909-AM.png)

   ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-31-5634-AM.png?width=670&height=307&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-31-5634-AM.png) 
7. Click the filter icon to filter the archive using available options such as file name, file owner, document ID, created date, or other Drive metadata. Read [How to Filter the Drive (Google Drive or OneDrive) Data in the Backup Archives?](https://help.syscloud.com/how-to-filter-the-drive-google-drive-or-onedrive-data-in-the-backup-archives?hsLang=en) For more information.   
    ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-56-7606-AM.png?width=670&height=307&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-30-56-7606-AM.png) 
8. The **Snapshot Date** on the top right shows that archive view currently appearing on the screen is of which date. To view files and folders from a specific backup point in time or for a range of dates, Click on the above snapshot date.   
    ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-31-11-0979-AM.png?width=670&height=308&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-31-11-0979-AM.png)   
   To compare the archive view for a range of dates, From & To can be selected. For a specific point in time, both From & To dates should be same. **Click** on **Apply.**  
   ** ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-11-1017-AM.png?width=670&height=306&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-11-1017-AM.png) **
9. Click a file or folder name to open or preview the item, where supported.
   
    ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-28-7639-AM.png?width=670&height=305&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-28-7639-AM.png)  

 The preview will open in a new window.

 ![](https://help.syscloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-52-9830-AM.png?width=670&height=307&name=undefined-Jun-23-2026-11-32-52-9830-AM.png) 

The main archive panel displays file metadata such as file name, owner, collaborators, size, created date, last modified date, discovery tags, and action tags.

Google Drive will be available in the archives only if it was selected in the backup job and backup data is available for the selected user.
