Google Drive
Are your eyes tired of staring at bright screens all day? 

Do you find yourself squinting at Google Drive in low-light conditions? 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Change your Google Drive settings.

The wait is over! 

Google Drive's highly anticipated Dark Mode is now available on both web and mobile apps, offering a more comfortable and visually appealing experience.

Google Drive is a cloud storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It allows users to:
  • Store files: You can upload and store various types of files, including documents, photos, videos, and more, in the cloud.
  • Access files from anywhere: You can access your files from any device with an internet connection, whether it's a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
  • Share files: You can easily share files and folders with others, giving them permission to view, edit, or comment.
  • Collaborate in real-time: Multiple people can work on the same document simultaneously, seeing each other's changes in real-time.
  • Create and edit documents: Google Drive includes a suite of productivity tools (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides) for creating and editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations directly in the cloud.
Essentially, Google Drive provides a convenient and accessible way to store, manage, and collaborate on your files, regardless of your location or device.

And now you can use it in "Dark Mode".
