- smeej 3y agoIt does, but using it is really optional. It works equally well if you leave everything in the default Drive directory and use search to find whatever you need. If you're not used to thinking in terms of files, it just looks like a list of your most recent documents, with a search bar to find anything else.
- kridsdale1 3y agoI just read through the circa 2010 retrospective on how the Drive team tried to come up with their brand. 99% of the concepts were very based on the traditional physical idioms of files, mechanical hard disks, etc. iCloud was released midway through the project and so then they started making “cloud file” and “cloud disk” concepts. It was nearly an accident they ended up with an abstract shape like Chrome. But ultimately Google Drive icon has stood the test of time while files and disks have faded in to history.
