Use buttons in your Drive toolbar

On your computer, when you select a Drive file or folder, buttons in the upper left corner allow you to take actions. If screen dimensions permit, a similar set of buttons emerge when you hover over a file or folder in list layout.

Example: You can use buttons to share or rename a file.
