The Android version of the Google Drive app recently received an important update. A lot of Android users have been giving feedback to Google and the Internet giant listened to demands. New features include support for important three major Open file formats like .odt (documents), .ods (spreadsheets), and .odp (presentations), search for files right from the app, and access and sharing of custom maps. These enhancements make the recent Google Drive app version a better and more efficient tool for work and productivity.
Open file formats can now be opened on Google Drive. This means you can easily access your odt, ods, and odp files. These file types can now be converted to Google documents, spreadsheet, or presentation so you can edit, work on, and share the file online. Just make sure the editing for Office files function is enabled.
Searching for files in Google Drive is now possible. Simply say “OK, Google — search for blah blah blah on Drive” and app will locate the file. No need to type words or open another app. Those who use Google My Maps all the time can now access and share custom maps on Google Drive. No need to get out of the Drive app because you can now share maps right from the app.
More improvements on Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps have rolled out as well. Docs now have spacing controls. You can choose single, double or fractional line spacing. On the Slides app, inserting, moving, resizing, and rotating shapes, lines, and text boxes are now possible. As for Sheets, scrollbars have been added for faster navigation.
