Smoothing Out Google Drive


Recently, Google updated the Google Drive app for Android, making the whole experience even less complicated. The card-style interface that is available on the desktop version of Google Drive is now available on Android as well.  The intent here is to give the user a more visual ideal of the content of the file.  

The newest feature in this update brings the capacity to create a scan of a document by using the camera of the Android device (Not available on the Nexus 7).  Drive has the ability to recognize characters and will allow you to search for scanned documents and through them as well.  Another feature that was not previously available in Drive for Android is the file tree.  Although it was possible to drill down into the tree, there was no way to backtrack through it.  Now across the top of the screen in Drive the tree can be seen.  

As it is with Google products updates and coming fast and making our lives easier.  What's not to love?
