Update to Google app adds support for Google Drive files and folder searches on Android

With the latest update to the Google app, you can now search for files and folders right on your Google Drive and get results right in the app. The default search was updated with an IN APPS option.

Google has updated its Firebase App Indexing to support Google Drive files and folders, this means that you can search for any file stored on Google Drive and it'll display right in the Google app on your Android device. Simply type your query and tap the “IN APPS” tab to view any Drive files relevant to your search. Select those files to open them in the appropriate app.

The update comes with support for the Google Drive app which lets you:

  • Safely store your files and access them from anywhere.
  • Search for files by name and content.
  • Easily share files and folders with others.
  • Quickly view your content.
  • Set access levels for who can view, comment, or edit.
  • Quickly access recent files.
  • See file details and activity.
  • Enable viewing of files offline.
  • Use your device camera to scan in paper documents.
