Google Drive on Android may soon let you add more useful categories to your files\u060c<\/p>\n
Google introduced a feature last year that gives Google Drive users a new way to organize their files and easily find them later based on certain predefined filters. However, while useful, this feature was also very limited, as it was only available on iOS and the filter criteria was very narrow. That could change soon, as Google Drive is currently testing broader search categories in its Android app<\/a>. Google expands file organization options in Google Drive with a new “Categories” feature, like @AsembleDebug from The Android SP<\/a> discovered while looking through the Google Drive app code. Unlike the existing \u201cLabels\u201d feature, the creation of which is currently limited to Workspace administrators, \u201cCategories\u201d promises broader usability and better ways to keep your Drive tidy. This is also the case for the iOS implementation, which is limited to pre-established categories (file type, owners and last modified status).<\/p>\n The Categories feature will allow you to assign files to one or more of 12 predefined categories, such as:<\/p>\n Files can be categorized by tapping the three-dot menu next to a file and selecting “Manage Categories.” This makes it easier to label important documents with the appropriate labels.<\/p>\n Although initially discovered in the Android app and still under development, the feature appears to be designed to sync between the Android, iOS, and web versions of Drive. This makes it a truly universal organizational tool. Importantly, this isn't just for Workspace users, meaning anyone with a Google account will be able to benefit from it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Google Drive on Android may soon let you add more useful categories to your files\u060c Google introduced a feature last year that gives Google Drive users a new way to organize their files and easily find them later based on certain predefined filters.
