How to filter emails from Google Docs?

Question

Emails from Google Docs are sent from the personal email address rather than from noreply address.

So when I receive a notification about that somebody has shared a document with me, I see [email protected] address in the "From" line. However, these emails usually don't have any useful meaning and I want to filter them to a particular label for GMail notifications to move it away from Inbox. Since there is no filter parameter like "sent via" how can I do that?

To make it clear, I am interested in filtering incoming emails.

[email protected] (Google Drive)

you can either:

1. Select them manually, to do what ever you want;
2. Prior to searching, you can create a filter.

Answer 2

I'm now using the following query:

from:(docs.google.com OR [email protected])

It seems to catch all incoming emails regarding shared Google Drive documents and comments on them.
