The Google Drive file picker on Android has been redesigned for Gmail, Chat, and other Workspace apps. Instead of a simple list, folders and views are now in a carousel format, with Recent files immediately visible. Users can still switch between list and grid views.
Key Changes:
- Carousel format replaces the old list view.
- Recent files are displayed immediately upon opening the file picker.
- Easier access to various storage locations like shared drives.
Benefits:
- Saves a tap.
- Improved visibility of available storage locations.
- Faster access to recently viewed files.
This update mirrors a similar redesign implemented for the web version last year. The new file picker is accessible through the paperclip icon in Gmail's compose window and the 'plus' menu in Google Chat.
