Google seems to be paying more attention to Android Tablets these days. First, there was the launch of Android 12L for large-screen devices like foldables and tablets. Now, it is optimizing its suite of apps for office and productivity. The list of Google apps getting updates includes Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Slides, and Google Keep. Let’s see what new those updates bring.

Drag and drop files between Google Workspace Apps

You can have two different Google Workspace apps on two different windows and then drag and drop files between them.

Google shares the following use cases for this:

  • Drag text or images from one app and drop the same into a Doc file or Sheet cell or Keep.
  • Drag and Drop to upload files to Drive.
  • Drag and Drop Google Drive Links to Google Keep.

Better Multitasking With Google Drive

When you have two Drive windows side by side, you can now open files from one window to the other by selecting the “Open in new window" option within the 3-dot menu of the file in question.

Use Keyboard Shortcuts On Google Drive, Docs, and Slides

If you use an external keyboard with the Android tablet, now you will be able to use keyboard shortcuts like select, cut, copy, paste, undo and redo on select Google Workspace apps such as Drive, Docs, and Slides.
