It allows users to not only search for text in Google Photos image library, but actually copy and paste it. Here. For. It.”]

Instead of clicking a bunch of times, you can now swipe down on your avatar to quickly change between your Google Drive and Google Maps accounts.

According to Android Police, the screen will flash when you execute the gesture in Google Maps, which is rather alarming. Drive is a little more low key with a simple animation.

The new version of Google Drive is only rolling out now, so if you can’t access this new functionality you can either wait, or download it manually.

Now we just need to see this feature come to Gmail. Come onnnnnn.
