New Google Drive homepage view arriving January 11

January 9, 2024

Google has announced a new homepage view in Google Drive called “Home.” According to Google, this feature should begin showing up in U-M Google on January 11, 2024, and could take 15 days or longer to become fully visible. 

In the new view, you’ll notice:

  • Personalized suggestions: Google surfaces relevant files and folders based on your activity.
  • Improved filtering: Filter chips help you narrow down results by type, owner, and more.

Important: When you go to drive.google.com after the change, instead of landing on My Drive or Priority, you will now be directed to Home. If you would like to set your default landing page to My Drive, click “Change to My Drive” in the blue banner that will appear on Home. (You should also be able to find it in your Google Drive settings once rolled out.)
