We like good redesigns, especially stuff we love to use everyday. Here is another one, pretty heavy I would say;)

Dealing with the docs, sheets & presentations is no always a piece of cake – with that approach you could save some frustrations and loads of time!

Pros:

Most used functions always on the top – that's how I'd do my job more efficient!

Cons:

Can't wait to affect a real product!

Sure! Here's the list with all the improvements we introduced: - We enhanced the visual part by adding more contrast to the background and tweaking the UI with features like hover states. - The search experience is now easier because users can launch a search with a keyboard shortcut. The search also shows relevant suggestions while a user is typing. - We added smart filters that adjust according to search results. - The search is also more personalized now – users can add or delete columns in search results and adjust the table density. - When it comes to the dashboard, it now offers an option to drag & drop elements to Quick Access. - Upon hovering over a document, users can now see the document’s location and recent comments and suggestions added in the document. - Notifications are now embedded in Google Drive, and they will notify users about newly shared documents and replies to their comments. - Finally, we created a Deadlines tab that sorts documents by a deadline and shows which ones should be worked on first.
