[APK Download] New version of Google Drive supports batch download, send, share interface improvements
Google appears to be ready to drop a new version of Google Drive for Android devices taking the app to version 2.2.233 that includes a few features that users will likely appreciate. In recent updates Google has added support for features like drag and drop support for files and Chromecast support. These latest enhancements may not garner headlines like those changes, but they will make the app a lot easier to use for many people. The new Google Drive app has revised the menu when multiple files are selected to make it easy to download or share them. The update also improves the process used to share a file with collaborators.
When selecting multiple files in Drive, users will find a floating menu opens near the bottom of the screen. Currently this menu gives users the ability to star, pin or trash files while the overflow allows the user to cancel the selection. The new version moves the star and trash options to the overflow menu along with the “move to…” option. In their place, users will find buttons to download the selected items or to “send” the selected which opens a screen for users to choose what app to use for sending the files.
Google also cleaned up the sharing options to make it a little easier to add people. Using the share button opens the Add People interface. Typing in a name and selecting them adds their name and icon from your contacts, similar to how the Gmail “To” line works. A drop down button to the right provides access to what editing rights are being granted. It should be noted that it appears whatever editing rights are granted will apply to all of the users being added – you do not set these on a per user basis like the desktop interface permits.
If you do not want to wait for the update to be officially released and roll out to your device, you can download the APK below.
