Online Google Drive Gaining New Activity Stream Function

Google Drive is an amazingly powerful tool to have at your disposal. Working on projects in real-time with multiple people certainly has made work more efficient. However, unless you are in the file with your friends or colleagues, you won’t see what has been added or changed. Unless of course you force them to work in different colored text. That is slowly going to change starting today with a new Activity Feed option in your Google Drive account.

When you open Drive, click the little ⓘ button at the top right corner and the activity stream will magically appear. You can see all the actions that were taken on all your files and folders in Drive that are shared. If a complete overview is too messy and jumbled for you, then simply click on the file you want details on and you can drill things down to just one document or multiples.

The new function is set to start rolling out in typical Google stages starting next week. Keep your eyes peeled on your Drive account and let us know when you see it.
