Have you Experienced The New Drive?

During your introduction to the Google Essentials in March, you may have been prompted to experience "The New Drive".  This allows you to get a sneak peek and preview the new Google User Interface.

One of my favorite features of the new drive is the activity feed located on the right side of your Drive.  To open and close the Activity Feed, simply click on the black circle with the white i.  Here you will receive notifications of any changes to your drive.  If someone added information to a document, entered data into a sheet, or your own activity showing where you might have saved a document or if you deleted a file.  This features has been a life saver to me in several instances.

The New Drive will become the default interface for users sometime in early April.  Right now, you still have the option to switch back to the old drive, however this option will no longer be offered sometime in May.

If you would like to experience the New Drive, simply click on the gear in the top right corner.  Then click, "Experience the New Drive".  You will know you are in the New Drive when your red "Create" button changes to a red "New" button.  I hope you enjoy getting a jump on the new experience!
