Google Drive now guesses search queries based on usage behavior

An update to Google's cloud storage service Drive brings a new feature called Quick Access that tries to predict the search queries of an user based on his usage patterns. The feature should allow users to faster open the file that they wanted to search.

The Quick Access feature is self-learning which means it will be able to recognize Drive usage patterns over time. For now the feature is not available in the consumer version of Drive, but only the Android app of the business version of what was previously known as Google Apps for Work. Google today announced Google Apps for Work will be renamed to G Suite.

Another feature for Drive is Team Drives which makes it possible to share a Drive account with multiple G-Suite customers. Also Google's Explore is updated, the spreadsheet now allows users to receive help by typing questions in natural language.
