The Google Drive app for iPad and iOS was updated yesterday, to Version 2.0.0.
Top of the list of changes in this update is a brand new design for the app, that features a new grid view (that can be toggled to list view with one tap) and thumbnail previews for files and photos.There’s also a new ‘Get Link’ feature that provides the link to a file stored in Drive.
The iPad app does look a little cleaner in grid view, though I still wouldn’t say the UI is gorgeous by any means. I don’t Drive heavily enough to fully appreciate its updates – Dropbox is my go-to app in this category.
For those of you who are big Google Drive users, what do you think of the new design?
