Drive wants to take the guesswork out of file uploads.

- Drive appears to be working on some major changes to file uploads, offering a whole lot more feedback about what’s happening.
- Progress indicators should start actually show how far along your upload is, rather than just spinning forever.
- A new Uploads screen will keep track of all your file transfers, past and queued.
When you’re looking to move files on or off your phone, you’ve got plenty of options, from Quick Share, to just using pulling out a USB cable. But Google Drive has got to be one of the most convenient solutions for Android users, easily handling large files, and making it a snap to share them with others. While there’s a lot to like there already, Google’s been working on some tweaks that promise to make using Drive even better, by means of a totally overhauled upload experience.
Right now, uploading files from your phone to Drive is a little bare-bones. You browse your device, choose your file, and watch the indicator spin as it uploads to Google’s cloud. While that gets the job done, Drive could soon be getting some much more fleshed-out uploading tools.
