Dashboard

From Google Drive's dashboard, it's easy to navigate to your own files, shared files, recently edited items, and anything you've made available for offline viewing. There's also a search tool always available at the top of the app.

Spreadsheets powered up

Previously the app's biggest weakness, the Spreadsheets editor has been significantly improved and now works the way it was always supposed to. Simply single-tap a cell to pull up editing tools and an input bar.
