Google Docs Adds New Thumbnail View

Google Docs Thumbnail ViewGoogle Docs is one of the leading cloud computing services, but the functionality still isn’t quite there yet when it comes to the flexibility of finding documents within a folder on the desktop. That all changes today, with the new “thumbnail” preview, which quite ironically, displays thumbnails of your documents.

When you are in the list view, a new icon will display in the edit bar, making it easy to view all your documents. With the recent addition to Google Docs allowing you to upload any kind of file (up to 250MB), I realized that it would be hard to view files, at least compared to a desktop. Now, with this new view, photos, PDFs, and more will have thumbnails displayed. Toggling between the two views is extremely easy.

Additionally, a new spell checking correction, similar to what is found on the main Google Search box, is now integrated. For example, if you misspell “kitens,” it will automatically suggest “kittens.” Finding files and browsing them can’t get any easier than this.

Finally, the maximum upload size has also been increased from the previously-stated limit of 250MB to 1GB, making it easier to store larger files. However,your will still be limited to a default set of storage, unless you purchase more for a yearly fee.
