Improving multi-instance support for the Google Drive Android app
Last year, we announced multi-instance support on Google Drive, a feature that gives you better insight into your files by allowing you to have two Drive app windows open side-by-side on large screen Android devices. Now, we’re improving this experience by adding multi-account support, which lets a single user have two instances of the Drive app open side-by-side on a single device, showing content from two different Google Accounts. With this update, you can preview a file from one account in one instance, while navigating through the folders of your secondary account in the other instance. | Rolling out to

Better location context for events and RSVPs in Gmail
