Google Drive may soon revamp file uploads with new features
Google Drive, a go-to for many Android users to manage and share their files, is possibly about to get a whole lot better. While it's already pretty convenient, especially for large files, Google has in the works some new features that promise to make the uploading experience even smoother.
Right now, uploading files to Drive is a pretty basic affair. You pick your file, and then you just kind of wait and watch a spinning wheel until it's done. However, Google is working on a dedicated "Uploads" section that you'll be able to access right from the app's menu. This is where you'll see everything that's in the queue to be uploaded, what's currently uploading, and even a history of your past uploads – all in one place.

While most of these changes are still in the works, there's one new feature you can try out right now: predictive back gestures. This should make it a lot easier to navigate around if you're constantly jumping between different folders.
All of this information comes from an APK teardown of the latest Google Drive release. This basically means that developers have dug into the app's code to see what Google is working on. It's important to remember that these features are still in development, and there's always a chance Google could change its mind or tweak things before they're officially released.
