                     The More actions icon opens file management options such as Open with, Download,
                   Rename, Make a copy, etc.
                     The List/Grid layout icons allow us to switch between different layouts for viewing files

                   and folders. The List layout shows files as a series of lines stacked one above the other.
                   The Grid layout shows files as thumbnails (larger view).

                 Features of Google Drive

                 Google Drive has the following features:

                     Work Offline: This feature activates offline mode to upload and edit files even without Internet
                   connection.

                     Restore Previous Versions: It helps you see the changes a user has made to a document in the
                   Drive app and restore previous versions by going to File → Version history and then see version
                   history.
                     Scan Documents with Your Android Phone: You can create PDF (portable document format) files
                   by scanning documents with your phone’s camera. Open Google Drive on the phone, tap the ‘+’
                   button at the bottom right, and tap Scan to take a picture of the document. Save it as a PDF file. This
                   process uses Optical Character Recognition search.

                     Security: It allows you to share your files using a custom link with the ability to control who has
                   access to it.
                    Accessibility: Your document can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

                    Automatic Saving: It saves the changes automatically. Every time you work on a file, the system
                   automatically saves your updates, eliminating the need for repeated file saves.

                 Google Maps

                 In earlier days, while travelling, we used to carry paper maps and a compass to help us reach our
                 destination. Due to the advancement of technology, we have digital maps. We can access these maps
                 through a web browser or a mobile app. Google Maps is a digital navigation tool that provides detailed
                 information about the geographical regions of any particular area. Launched on February 8, 2005, it
                 became available on the Play Store in December 2012.
