Disappearing drive

huh? what app screen? what are you using to open the pdf?
Well, there's supposed to be an app drawer, but I guess they did away with that. I bet nova launcher still has it. I don't know why drive is not shown. Maybe it has something to do with which phone, a Moto G 5g with 128 gb. When I go to downloads in (unfortunately) googoo files, I can find it, and apparently drive does open it. How do we change the orientation from vertical to horizontal?
try swiping up from the homescreen. on most devices this should pull up the app drawer. every android device will have an app drawer.
There is a screen that shows app icons, but they aren't the same thing as an app drawer. Anyway, the point is that there is no drive shown. It is on the phone but it doesn't show there. How do we get drive to show up with the rest of them? Is it some kind of hidden system thing?
Drive? Like Google Drive? Do a search for something like "my files".
I don't understand your question.
Is this an issue with a pdf file or a Google Drive issue?
And what is disappearing?

What I mean is that drive is in the phone but it is not among the app icons. To open the pdf I had to go to googoo files and downloads and there it was. It seems a lot of trouble when this Moto G 5g could just admit that it has drive instead of hiding it. Is it ashamed? Googoo should be. Meanwhile the file is going the wrong way, vertically. How do I straighten it out and make it horizontal?
There is no drive in Android.... at least not like there is in Windows on your computer. You need to get a file manager to find files like pdf's. And again how are you viewing the pdfs? Depending on the app you use will determine if you can rotate it or not. I have microsoft office and it can rotate pdfs..... so it depends.
Honestly, just get a new phone
That's never worked before but I guess. I should probably give up on this stuff, go live in a cave, and pick berries. I guess I could figure out if they're ripe or call technical support with a tin can and a string. At least I was finally able to find drive and files. They were hiding in, of all things, the Google bunch, with a lot more.
