Remember Google is a search engine, and the drive works in a similar fashion. 

You can be sloppy or non-descriptive about file names as long as you remember whatever your file was about or any of the specific content within it. For example, searching for "wild bear" will bring up all documents that include the phrase "wild bear".

That being said, I'd recommend organizing your files according to content and type. If you're writing a story titled "Death to the 1%" I'd name the files accordingly and label each according to whether it's a first draft, second draft, or final copy. For example, "Death to the 1%draft1", etc. 

Hope that was helpful.
