Google
on Thursday has reportedly released another update (version 2.0.222.39)
to its Google Drive app for Android, with a brand-new UI on offer. Last
week, the Drive app for Android users was
updated
to version 1.3.222.29, bringing numerous bug fixes, performance
improvements, and UI tweaks. That update is now rolled-out to
Android
users in India on Wednesday, and we expect the latest to arriving in the
coming days.
As reported by website Android Police, which has a
Google-signed apk of the updated app, the new interface of Google Drive
completely ditches the top bar, and now there are buttons in a grid form
for easy access when a user taps on a file. Options like Rename, Share,
Star a document, Share a link, Move, Send file, Download and more, sit
just below the file name.
The Google Drive 2.0 app also has a new
header for tracking activity on a document. This will make performing
tasks very easy for the users. Other options include printing, link
sharing, and adding people to the access list. It seems the update will
roll-out gradually just like the other updates from Google, and till
then users who cannot wait can download the apk via
Android Police.
For the existing update on
Google Play, along
with 'bug fixes and performance improvements', there are some changes
that have been rolled out secretly in the Google Drive app. Notably it
has added a new floating shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen with
Upload, Create and Scan options. The Google-coloured refresh animation
has changed from plain blue. Google Drive's multi-user switcher now
expands in-line instead of opening a drop-down menu, and the Settings
menu now includes Program Policies below 'Open source licenses'.
