    A Copy link icon generates a link to your document for sharing and giving access to others.

                         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.

                       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.

                                                                                                        Google Apps     63
