Google Drive already has notifications when sharing files
The cloud or document storage spaces on the Internet continues to be a useful tool to maintain Keep safe those files that you don't want to store on your mobile. Something that offers more space in the terminal's memory, in addition to extra security to the knowing that the document will be available even if the mobile is lost, for example. Something that Google Drive has been offering for some time now, and that now improves with a new update for both its application on the platform Android as for iOS
This is an update with three key points that are most notable for regular users. And it is that those who use Google Drive will often know that one of its main virtues is the possibility of sharing both files and entire folders from the service. Something that allows collaborate on documents or simply send these files without having to send them or spend Internet data Thus, the system notifies the receiving user by means of a email that you have received said contents. A step that now improves thanks to notifications
This way you no longer need to check your email inbox to see who has sent and shared your documents. Or check the Shared with you menu of the application.Each new file or folder that is shared will be notified directly from the application, accessing the content quickly and without the need to use other notification methods. Something much more convenient. But there is more news.
In this new version of Google Drive the system has also been improved to give access permission to folders and files stored in this cloud Thus, it is now possible for recipients of the content to actively request permission to access the file Y is that before the user could share any content through a link even without offering permission to the user who received it , which prevented it from accessing and seeing it. With this, it is not necessary for the sender to process the permission before sharing the content, the receiver can also request it directly once they receive the link.Of course, at the moment this feature is only available for terminals with the operating system Android
But there is still one more improvement in the latest version of Google Drive. It is the preview of content shared through a link. And this function now does not require a Google account to be able to view that photo or shared folder. As in the web, but now also from the mobile, it is possible to check the content of the link even when you are not a user of Google in any of its services. Something quite convenient to give visibility to a document.
In short, a tool that continues to evolve to store and share all kinds of content directly.Now with notifications and more useful features for users who are used to sharing. Of course, we will still have to wait several weeks to see these features in the applications of Google Drive, and they are being launched slowly. The Google Drive app is available free on both Google Play as in App Store
