The latest update for Google Drive for Android adds a small but crucial feature for those who manage their documents through Google. Now, users can drag and drop files into folders on mobile. By long-pressing on a document, you can now select any number of files and move them back and forth between folders with relative ease. In addition, the selected files can be starred, pinned, or downloaded with just a series of taps.

Along with small design tweaks here and there, other new features for the app are an improved PDF viewer and better search, which now lets you jump to the location of a file after searching for it. The update is available now via the Google Play Store.
