Google Drive Search on iOS will get higher filtering choices

Google Drive for iOS now allows you to filter searches utilizing dropdown menus for file varieties, homeowners, and final modified, the corporate wrote in its Workspace replace weblog on Friday. Dropdown menus will seem earlier than and after the search, and related filter suggestions will seem together with the kind of customers.

Google says the replace is on the market to Google Workspace clients and particular person clients, in addition to anybody with a private Google Account on iOS. This characteristic hasn't been rolled out to Android customers but, however Google says it's coming as properly.

I've made a display recording to point out the way it works:

The brand new filter replace makes looking and looking information extra nice if you don't know the place they’re. For instance, if you realize you're searching for a video saved in Drive, however don't know what it's known as, you’ll be able to merely faucet the video file sort, then faucet “Customized Vary” underneath Final Modified. Choose and search the time interval you need. Touched it for the final time. I’d like to see this up to date so I can filter by different varieties of dates or file sizes.

This can be a marked enchancment over Google's earlier method, which included filter recommendations and swipeable filters. Seems, dropdown menus are nonetheless finest. Who would have thought?
