Google Drive is updated with the design of Android Lollipop
Google announced the arrival of Android 5.0 Lollipop a few weeks. They had previously shown some images of the new design and recently we were able to see it in its final form. Material Design, that's what Google calls this new aesthetic, which is characterized by flat colors, thinner fonts and a generally more simplified look, butintuitiveIt had been a long time since the Google platform had received a facelift, and it had already needed it. Those from Mountain View have created a clearer interface, with the right elements and well organized so that we can easily understand how it works. Android 5.0 Lollipop It has not yet reached no Android phones, except for the Nexus 6, but Google has already started updating some of its apps to adapt them to the new design. A few days ago Gmail arrived (albeit unofficially) and they also showed details of Google Calendar Today it was the turn of Google Drive.
In this case, the update is official and in fact it can already be downloaded from the Google Play store. Google Drive is the Google office suite. It allows us to create text documents, spreadsheets, forms, presentations and even drawings. We can store other documents in PDF, create folders and share any item with other users. Everything in the cloud, so we can access to our documents from anywhere. In this case, the Android app has been updated to implement the changes from Android 5.0 Lollipop , although they are more at aesthetic level, maintaining a structure very similar to that of the previous version.
The main screen of Google Drive shows us the view of our documents and now a button appears red at the bottom right. This element is very characteristic of Android 5.0 Lollipop, and can be found in other applications, such as the new Gmail Pressing it opens a menu with several options to executeWe can create a folder, upload a document, scan with the camera or create a new document (text, spreadsheet or presentation). If we click on the icon that has three horizontal lines (top left), a drop-down menu opens with more optionsavailable. In this menu there are functions such as settings, starred, recent or incoming documents.
There are also animation changes and overall the design has been cleaned up quite a bit, much like Android 5.0 Lollipop, but maintaining the structure that we already knew from the previous version of the application. As we said, at the moment the Nexus 6 is the only smartphone with the latest version of Android, but it is expected that in a few days it will begin to reach the rest of the Nexus range Motorola it would be one of the first manufacturers to update its terminals, followed by others such as HTC or Samsung
