Google Drive is now available as a Progressive Web App. Installing Google Drive PWA on PC will also let you can start using the cloud-based file storage site as a native app. Also, The PWA also works on Android (via the three-dot menu -> Add to Home screen).
Over the past several months, Google made some of its services made accessible in Progressive Web Apps (PWA) such as Google Photos and YouTube Music. Today, Google Drive is now getting an installable PWA version.
How to install Google Drive PWA:
This is fairly simple, and you can do that by following these steps:
- Open Google Chrome Web Browser.
- Navigate to the Google Drive website.
- Click on the "Plus" symbol on the top right on the address bar.
- From there, click the blue Install button.
- That’s it! you've Installed Google Drive PWA on your PC.
Installing Google Drive PWA on PC will also let you can start using the cloud-based file storage site as a native app. For Drive users, that means they will no longer see the address bar at the top of the Drive website. Also, users will see an option to install Drive as a PWA with a plus sign at the end of the address bar when they visit the site on a supported browser.
Also, The PWA also works on Android (via the three-dot menu -> Add to Home screen), but there isn't as much of a benefit to it there; the Android app itself is a much better experience than the Drive mobile site in a standalone window. By default, it tries to open most of your stuff in Drive via the Sheets/Docs/Slides apps anyway.
