I have several related updates I'd like to see within Drive for better usability and management:
  • View items in a list instead of a grid. We have a naming convention that makes it easier to find images than looking at the small thumbnail. However, we can only see part of the name in the current UI grid setup.
  • View a larger version of image. Currently only thumbnail-size available, even when viewing the file details. Makes it hard to see what the image is to determine if I want to use it or replace it.
  • When searching for images and files within Drive, the file's parent folder isn't listed, so I have no idea where it's living. Often, I want to go to the parent folder to view what else it has related to the image I just searched.
  • When updating and adding images in articles, I want to be able to click on an image to
- See it's name
- See the Drive folder it lives in
- Go to the file in Drive so I can replace the file
  • Rename files in Drive
- Occasionally there's a typo in a file name or it doesn't follow the proper naming convention, so I'd like the ability to update the file name in Drive. Often, a file has several dependencies so it's not a viable solution to just upload the same image with the corrected file name and replace it in the many places it's used.
-- Each image seems to have it's own unique identifier string, so renaming images shouldn't break links, references, or dependencies.
  • The Drive pop up window to insert a file from the article editor is always taller than my browser window, so I have to scroll down to click the Insert button once I've selected an image. The pop up window should be smaller than my browser window height.
