Google Drive March 2024 update brings improved search and video playback
Google Drive March 2024 update begins rolling out with a pair of enhancements including improved video playback and more search filters on mobile. The Drive “enabling generation and playback of Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) video transcodes for all new videos uploaded”.
According to the info, the Google Drive March 2024 update will allow for adaptive bitrate playback, resulting in faster video playback when you click the play button. You can also expect less re-buffering “in normal playback as well as during playback at higher speeds.”
In addition, the company revealed that it’s further enhancing Google Drive’s search experience on iOS devices (with Android coming soon) by:
- Simplifying how you access query filters by introducing filter categories that are accessible directly below the search bar and include filters for File Type, Owners and Last modified.
- Showing you relevant query filters as you type your query, enabling you to easily select a filter and saving you the time and effort of typing out the full search.
- Adding the option to further refine your search after reaching the search results page.
This is already live on iOS and coming soon to Android.
