Google Drive is an important component of your Android smartphone. All your important phone data, including your message backups, photos, contacts, and WhatsApp backup, is stored there. However, you don’t really need to use Google Drive as it’s well integrated into the Android ecosystem. But if you wish to store your personal files into Google Drive, you have to use their official app, which comes preinstalled on most Android smartphones.
Google Drive is an easy-to-use, fast-forward, and efficient way to manage your data. However, people are fond of using different theme styles and customization while using apps and services. Taking notice of this, recently, Google Drive has given the option to enable dark mode. The best part is that you can even configure it to match your device theme settings so that you can switch between dark mode and light mode at will.
Dark mode in Google Drive is exceptionally well when it comes to practical usages, as most people do not want to see the flashy white background when looking into their files and folders. Setting up these preferences is easy with the app, and here is how you can enable dark mode on Google Drive Android very easily.
How to Use Dark Mode on Google Drive App?
The night mode is beneficial when you use your phone to manage Google Drive at night time. Especially if you’re a developer, a programmer, or you often use Google Drive to manage your online storage.
