Google Workspace Changes

New features and improvements for the Google Drive Android app.

A new version of the Google Drive Android app is being released, introducing the ability to share files and links directly from upload notifications, access extended contact information in the sharing section, and remove parents from multi-parented files. The update also adds support for 23 new languages, improves the PDF viewer's scrolling and layout handling, and includes general performance and UI enhancements, as well as a fix to prevent uploads for accounts where Drive has been disabled by administrators.

Google+ Photos and videos are now available in Google Drive.

Google is integrating Google+ Photos into Google Drive, introducing a new 'Google Photos' menu item. Users can optionally add a Google Photos folder to their 'My Drive' to manage photos and videos alongside other files, with controls available in Drive settings and the Sync Client to manage folder visibility and desktop syncing. The feature will respect Google+ settings, meaning domains with Google+ disabled will not see the menu item.
