Google split cloud storage applications have been questioned

With the recent development of time, mobile clients slowly appeared some phenomena in China - the software is getting bigger and bigger, the functions are more and more, the user experience is getting worse and worse. In the American Internet industry, The division of labor deviating from all phases has also become a new trend. Since Facebook canceled the client private letter function, Google (microblogging) has also been involved in cloud storage and document editing client, a functional reorganization, APP positioning So it becomes clear.

Google has a mobile client cloud storage Drive service, before having the ability to edit documents online. However , after Google recently upgraded its client, some users were disappointed with the upgrade and the built-in document editing functions were removed.

For users wishing to edit cloud storage documents, Google will be prompted to download a separate office document editing client, Word Processing Tool Docs and Sheets.

Not long ago, Google has just adjusted the client of online document editing, the function is separated into three separate clients, in addition to the above two, Slide client for presentation production will be released in the near future.

According to the technology news site TheVerge, the above changes to the Drive client have been deployed to iOS apps, and the Android version will be upgraded later.

For users, Drive client function adjustment is not very convenient, but for Google, it hopes different future clients have a clear functional orientation, no longer pursue the big and the whole. One Drive client concerned cloud storage and file management, document editing to Google's other three tools.

After their respective roles, Google also have to strengthen the function of independent APP. For example, the Drive client adds password protection for the network disk files. In addition, the spreadsheet client starts to support offline form editing.

In the client function reorganization, Facebook's recent move caused the user an uproar. Sending private messages has always been an essential feature of Facebook's social network, but the latest version of Facebook's client removes private messaging features, Facebook said. If a mobile chat tool is required, users are advised to download and install the Messenger client that Facebook has exclusively launched.

Some users questioned, Facebook in order to improve the messenger Messenger installed capacity, sacrificing the experience of the old Facebook client user experience.

Analysts pointed out that Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo and other Internet giants began to achieve full mobility, each company's number of clients (including for different size hardware, for different operating systems) up to dozens or even hundreds Models, the intersection of function and the intersection of overlapping and the intersection of mode and the intersection of function and former, will cause user's confusion and product development and management chaos, each doing its own job, independent download and install, will become the new tendency of APP product line management and maintenance.
