Google Drive Redesign

A brand new @Google Drive interface ⚑️

πŸ” I moved the navigation from the left to the top, making it feel more natural, visible, & less cluttered.

πŸ‘€ The name of the folder you're at can be seen more easily on the top left, which is unaltered by its path, now moved over it.

πŸ“ Folders have been entirely removed from the content view, giving you direct access to your files (w/o having to scroll past them)...

πŸ‘ˆ ...& encouraging the user to move files to the sidebar, where they are sticked & visible at all times. They also can be sorted & searched for separately.

πŸ“Œ Quick access is customizable - want to see recent files right away? No problem, just select it in the dropdown. It also has adopted a gallery format to quickly surf through the files.

βš™οΈ File actions have been moved to the bottom right, so they can easily be noticed by the user.

✨ The "New" button has been placed between the header & body to stand out from the rest.

Hoping to make a full case study with more changes & proposing new features for Google Drive soon!
