The new Details pane displays a wealth of information on a selected file or folder including a rich preview, who the file is shared with, recent activity on the file (by you or others), and standard metadata such as the path, type, and size. This means the experience will feel great whether you’re working on a large monitor or on a small screen device like a tablet.
The new command bar and views also have a responsive design that dynamically adapts the layout to the available screen real estate. For example, if nothing is selected, commands like New and Upload are visible, but after selecting a file those change to Share, Open, and Download. This makes it easy to access common commands, and it’s also contextually aware so if you’ve selected one item or multiple items, the available actions change. You’ll also notice the new command bar across the top of the page. From both views it’s easy to select one or more files with a click or a marquee select and then quickly organize your files by drag-and-drop just like you would on a PC. The list view is optimized for information density and readability while the tiles view shows rich previews that make it easy to spot important documents or work with images or videos. And power users will notice that familiar keyboard commands and right-click options make working with your files even faster.Ī highlight of the new browser experience is the ability to switch between a list and a preview tile view. We’ve also made it easier to keep your files organized with easy selection and drag and drop features that work just like folders on your PC.
