Google Drive Gives Its Homepage a Fresh New Look!
Google Drive is getting a makeover soon, as the search giant introduces a new home page for Google Drive, simply called the home page. It is said to make it faster to find the files that are most important to you.
In a new workspace blog update, Google notes that Drive will now suggest personalized recommendations for files and folders based on Google’s machine learning technology. “These suggestions use a variety of signals, such as which files or folders you’ve recently opened, shared, or edited, or which documents have been attached to upcoming calendar events,” Google notes.
“The new Google Drive home page makes it easier and faster to find the files you need and collaborate with others,” Google added. Plus, you can now use Filter Chips, making it easy to filter files by type, people, date modified, and even location.
As for aesthetics, it is based on the principles of the Material Design 3 guidelines, which promote efficient navigation. Additionally, these features would be enabled by default for users, but they can easily opt out by going to “My Drive” and clicking the “Switch to My Drive” option on the banner.
Google Drive “Home”: When will it be implemented?
The “home” rollout of Google Drive has already started on November 28, but it may take up to 15 days before it is visible to users during the rapid rollout. For scheduled release domains (most users), it starts on January 11, 2024.
