Google has added a few new features to Google Drive. Currently, Google Drive will send you an email about share requests, but soon it will send you a notification right to your phone.
The iOS and Android app will be receiving this sharing update. The second someone sends you a shared file, you will receive a notification that you can open right away. No more having to open your email, click a link, then open the Google Drive file. This update cuts out the middle man.
Also, you could always share links to files very easily before, but if you didn’t already grant access to someone they wouldn’t be able to open it. Now, on Android, people receiving the file can request access to it with just one tap. On iOS and Android the file owners will receive a notification of the request instantly.
The biggest change brings the ability to preview files without a Google Account on Android.
Until now, you needed a Google Account to view shared files on your Android device. Now, you can do this without a Google Account just like on the web.
Not all the features listed here are out yet, but they will be available soon.
