Keep track of the documents that people share with you via your Google Drive is about to get a little easier.
In addition to e-mail warnings about shared files, Google will now send notifications to your iOS or Android device when someone shares a file or folder with you on Google Drive. Even better, you can click on the notification to view the shared items with a single tap.
Meanwhile, it should now be easier to apply and provide access to the files from your phone. Android users can request access to view a file with a single press, which should be helpful when someone shares a link to a file with you, but forgot to give him access. On both iOS and Android, meanwhile, file owner will be notified of applications for file access on their device, so that they can quickly take action.
So far, you need an account to view the shared files on your Android device. Now you can do it without an account, just like on the web.
Google has already introduced new mobile notifications for shared folders and files, and said that the rest of these tweaks will be introduced over the next few weeks.
