Aside from the general tabs such as Home, Starred, Shared, and Files, the navigation rail also comprise a ‘+’ icon for adding new files and folders. On the flip side, users will also notice expand/ collapse button for the drawer.
Making the screen look less occupied, Google has decreased the length of the top search bar and shifted the help, settings, as well as profile button to the top-right corner. In addition, the Suggested and Notifications tabs won’t grab much space as before.
Eventually, these tweaks will enhance the overall experience of Google Drive on Android tablets. Particularly, the navigation rail, which will bring on the following perks on board:
- The navigation rail puts high-priority destinations within reach on large screens.
- The rail will appear consistently on the same side of each screen in an app.
- The rail complements adaptive and responsive navigation patterns.
It’s worth mentioning that users holding workspace accounts with Rapid release will be able to see this new look soon. While those who have not enrolled for Rapid release will get the new additions on April 03.
