Google’s most significant change to Google Drive has been the integration of its QuickOffice suite, turning documents opened in Google Drive into something more directly competitive with Microsoft Office. (Google+ will store photos that are automatically uploaded from a smartphone–and not charge users against their storage cap–but there’s nothing preventing users using Google Drive to store photos from a Windows Phone, for example.) While a text-based interface works adequately for a list of documents or PDFs, it becomes more of an issue when Google Drive is used as a secondary repository for a number of photos, especially when they’re stored using the default filenames. Google appears to have begun rolling out a more vibrant, icon-driven interface to its Google Drive Web interface, replacing its list of filenames with a more visual aspect that shows off the files themselves. For Google Drive, at least, that’s no longer the case.
For years, Google’s online apps have been dominated by a minimalist, text-driven interface.
