Google has announced the roll out of a small, yet fantastically useful update to their Drive app for the Mac. Since has been borne from Google Docs, collaboration and sharing documents and files is at its core. The update rolling out to the desktop app has better sharing in mind, with the addition of a right-click share menu. Files will naturally have to already be in your Google Drive folder, but quick sharing is sure to be appreciated by power users. Clicking on the share menu brings up the box we see here. You get your link, privacy settings, people to share with and who can edit the file you're sharing. Simple, fast, effective.
Google Drive still falls short for many of more established competitors such as Dropbox, but as time goes on Google continues to make it a little bit better with every update. The new sharing menu is beginning to hit users now, and will continue rolling out over the next few days. Does this add something that you were lacking in Google Drive?

I needed something to replace iCloud. I love the fact there is no limitations when you upload. Just now I tried to open a video file to preview and somehow it showed a corrupted play button. My heart dropped and all I had to do was close the app and restart it. It worked fine. The only reason why I’m using Google Drive is so that my files aren’t ever going to get corrupt on me. Even if I send a copy to my camera roll I’ll need it to show the exact date from when it’s been uploaded or taken.
Perfectly, the app does just that. I’m happy to use Google Drive for all the files.
Being a freelance photographer and cinematographer I’d recommend this app to anyone. Please don’t change anything within the app to make it difficult, or corrupt any of the files.
Update: saving photo to camera roll doesn’t show original date taken. It shows the day I save to camera roll. Uploads duplicates (sometimes), uploading a large amount of photos crashes the app, uploading shows the wrong number of uploads. Update: Saving a photo or video slightly decreases the resolution. We should be able to upload a photo or video with the resolution it was taken then saving it exactly how we upload it.

Casual Tetris player, Great for schools to use I can easily check in with my students by creating 'shared' folders. I have my own folders for each class hour I teach and each student has their own 'shared' folder to me. Every assignment is to be done in this shared folder which I can access on my own screen and communicate via comments without standing over their shoulder.
This gives accountability that students are on task and not hopping to a new browser, auto saves their work, folders can be shared/viewed by parents so parents know if their student is up to date with assignments, and gives me the luxury to have a paperless system-no more student claims of 'I turned it in!' Clearly I like Docs as a result of teaching Langage Arts but we use slides, and students have their own websites by using 'sites' which we use for facilitating student led conferences. This helps students be better prepared for future job interviews and practice presentation skills. The accessibility to view past versions of work is key to know when edits have been made to projects and lets students easily collaborate for group projects. I am SO GLAD our school has chosen to use Google Drive. I feel it's the best fit for both teachers and students to interact in this era that combines education and innovation.
