Google’s Save to Google Drive extension allows you to save downloaded files directly to your Google Drive account, as well as save webpages to Google Drive as images, HTML files, or even Google documents. However, if you’d rather download files directly to your Google Drive account, there’s an extension for Google Chrome that allows you to do just that. Google also needs to keep the pace with Drive on Android now that Office for Android phones brings new competition.We’ve all downloaded files from the web to our computer. They’ll especially be useful on large screen phones like the Galaxy Note 4 or Android tablets, as you can use all that space for collaboration working with various file types. The impact on you: If Drive is your go to productivity suite, these are some helpful changes. So you may just have to wait for that feature to appear in the official Play Store build. The latest edition is also hosted at APK Mirror, but when I downloaded the file, it didn’t include the new sharing interface. Google says the update was coming to the Play Store. The sharing menu is also cleaner, with contact pictures replacing the generic box that used to handle this function.

The new Drive interface (middle, left) includes a download sharing button for multiple files. Now you can just tap and hold a file, then select the circular checkbox on any others you want to include. Previously you were restricted to only mass download such files without the sharing capability. Drive’s Android app added some helpful tweaks to the sharing interface with its latest update.Version 2.2.23 let you select then share a group of files to others all at once.
