Bare Drive makes a bad Wiki because there’s too much friction to freely browse and discover information in Drive. Linking between documents in Drive is also super annoying compared to more wiki-like systems like Notion or Quip, which have autocomplete, or even MediaWiki, where page URLs are predictable.
How does Google Drive support tags? All I can find is adding files/folders to additional folders through the non-discoverable Ctrl-Z shortcut, which seems like a very roundabout way of implementing tags.
IMHO it really needs labels as first-class citizens, similar to GMail.

This is a Medium blog on an nytimes.com subdomain, so perhaps you've hit an account or browser specific limit. I'm not getting a paywall in or out of private browsing mode, you may be able to get around it easily.
Blog posts with a little star are paid.
Today, same browser, no wall. Impossible to tell what Medium is up to.

Drive documents are already searchable, taggable, and can be grouped by folders.
