Google Drive for iOS now enables you to filter searches utilizing dropdown menus for File Sort, House owners, and Final Modified, the corporate wrote on Friday in its Workspace Updates weblog. The dropdown menus present up earlier than and after a search, and related filter suggestions will present up in addition to customers kind.
Google says the replace is obtainable to Google Workspace clients and particular person subscribers, in addition to anybody with a private Google account on iOS. The function hasn’t been rolled out for Android customers but, however Google says that’s coming, too.
Right here’s a display screen recording I made to indicate the way it works:
The brand new filter replace makes it way more nice to go looking and browse for recordsdata once you don’t know the place they’re. As an illustration, if you already know you’re on the lookout for a video saved in Drive however don’t know what it’s referred to as, you may simply faucet the Movies file kind, then select “customized vary” underneath the final modified and seek for the time interval you final touched it. I’d like to see this up to date to let me filter by different varieties of dates or file sizes.
It’s a marked enchancment to Google’s earlier method, which concerned filter solutions and swipeable filters. Seems, dropdown menus are nonetheless the perfect. Who’d have thought?
