Google Drive gets a Material You design refresh

Technology Sep 25, 2025

Google Drive just got a small but noticeable design update as part of its Material 3 Expressive rollout.
The latest version ditches the old rounded-corner containers in list view, so now your files and folders stretch all the way across the screen.
Plus, the bottom search bar and app bar are separated for a sleeker vibe.

Update makes Drive easier on the eyes

This tweak mainly affects how lists and buttons look, giving everything a more modern, streamlined feel—while keeping familiar features like the floating action button menu unchanged.
The update seems to make Google Drive easier on the eyes and smoother to use.
