Homepage Google Drive Update
There has been an homepage update with Google Drive. The update includes personalised file and folder suggestions with machine learning algorithms that can help you get started quickly.
You should be able to see a combined, unified view for file and folder suggestions on the Drive homepage that leverages machine learning to help you find and organise your most relevant content faster and intuitively. More specifically, you’ll notice:
Combined file and folder suggestions: Drive's homepage shows suggested files and folders, intelligently chosen based on recent activity, sharing patterns, and connected Google Calendar events.
Seamless navigation and organisation: You can easily switch between viewing additional files or folders, or organise content directly from Home.
Enhanced search filters: Search chips allow you to quickly start a search by file type, people, modification date, and location modification date, location, and people.
Get Started:
The homepage view of Drive will be ON by default and can be opted-out if you don't want it. If you wish to keep the original view of My Drive, go to the Settings icon in the top right corner > Settings > Start page and select My Drive.
Up to 6 suggested folders will show at the top of the homepage view of Drive and you can click the “View more” option to see up to 12 total folders.
Up to 10 suggested files will show underneath the suggested folders in the collapsed state and up to 30 suggested files will show if you click the “View more” option.
You may not see the “View more” option if you do not have additional file or folder suggestions.
