The apps you\u2019ll see new features for include <a href=\"https:\/\/google-slides.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Slides<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/google-drive.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Drive<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/google-docs.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Docs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/google-sheets.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Sheets<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/google-keep.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Google Keep<\/a>. In essence, the changes affect how you perform tasks on your device, increasing productivity by saving time with specific actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Google mentions all these applications, the new update affects them all in the same way with new functions. For example, you can now <strong>drag and drop items<\/strong> from one window to another when you have a split-screen view. It also helps when you need to upload images into a sheet or document, which you can now simply drag across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"994\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps.jpg\" alt=\"Google set to optimize Android tablets with updated apps\" class=\"wp-image-197580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps.jpg 994w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-664x374.jpg 664w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-238x134.jpg 238w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-436x246.jpg 436w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-304x170.jpg 304w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/07\/Google-set-to-optimize-Android-tablets-with-updated-apps-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also <strong>split your Google Drive window<\/strong> for a side-by-side view. It helps when you\u2019re working across multiple folders, and you need to see different information or drag files across. This new Android tablet function is also useful when you have Keep open on one side so you can quickly insert images from your Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another feature update is the<strong> inclusion of keyboard shortcuts<\/strong>, which only benefit you if you have a keyboard attached to your tablet.
