Google has released a brand new version of its Drive cloud client for iOS customers adding an incoming view, activity stream, the ability to view, comment or edit files with a link, faster uploads, and more.

Google Drive version 3.1.0 sports an incoming view that lets you see files that have been shared with you as they arrive. The new activity stream allows users to see real time changes to files and folders made by them and others from the details panel, and you can now set files or folders to be viewed, edited, or commented on with a link.

Other enhancements include faster uploading of pictures and videos, bug fixes and performance improvements.

“If you use the Drive app for Android or iOS, you’ll notice everything is now a bit speedier and easier to navigate,” says Google. “Thanks to faster background syncing, the new mobile app makes it easy to find and quickly open files.”

“Plus, you get a host of new features that let you see who has access, view recent changes, or grab a link to share with more people. You can even enable offline access or print a file directly from the app,” reads the official announcement.

To download Google Drive 3.1.0, all you need is an iDevice running iOS 7.0 or later. The client supports over two dozen different languages.
