Google Drive gets redesigned homepage, new Activity section showing updates

Google has announced design changes for its Drive app in Android and iOS devices, offering a more compact layout for uploaded files in a list format. Google said in a recent blog post the new design will allow users to see more recommended files at once, such as those that have been recently opened, shared or edited.

The Notification log in Drive has been replaced with an Activity view section adjacent to ‘Suggested’. Google said that the Activity section will showcase items that need user attention such as pending access requests, recent comments and awaiting approvals, all in one place.
