Dark mode has become an essential part of many people’s lives, and finally, Google Drive has joined the dark mode family. For those who have used other Google services with dark mode, this was a notable missing feature.
Many of us have experienced the struggle of using Google Drive at night, whether it’s accessing important files or updating a spreadsheet. Trying to work in bed with the lights dimmed only to be greeted by the blinding white interface can be very annoying.
Fortunately, Google has listened to users’ requests and officially introduced dark mode for Drive. And the best part is, enabling it is a breeze. Here’s how you can turn on Dark Mode in Google Drive.
