Google Drive for Android update simplifies uploading, creating and scanning files

Google Drive for Android update simplifies uploading, creating and scanning files

Google's been making the Drive app on Android better and better with every update since its debut on the platform -- and lest we forget its iOS counterpart, too. Today's new features might not be as flashy as the ones we saw with the introduction of the card UI, with Google placing emphasis on core functionality and making it easier to create, scan and upload files. Drive users will now see buttons for said functions near the bottom of the application, which then allows them to be quickly triggered with a simple tap. Google also points out that the app's theme now sports a lighter color, with the idea being to make "content easier on the eyes." If anything, the cupcakes shown on the sample screenshot are definitely making our mouths watery.

Google updates Drive for iOS with new card UI, easier way to browse files

Google updates Drive for iOS with new card UI, easier way to browse files

You know how they say that when it rains, it pours? Well, shortly after unveiling a new set of native ware for Chrome, Google's also taken the time to announce an update to its Drive app on iOS. Most notable is the introduction of the card-style user interface, something we saw make its way to the Android version of Google Drive earlier this year. There's now a better way to browse and preview files as well, plus an easier approach to how links get copied within the app -- essentially, this means users will see a new option that automatically copies file links to the clipboard. The update doesn't appear to be live everywhere just yet, but keep an eye on the App Store as it should be arriving very soon.
