Description

The problem:

It's hard for user to find the files they need

Possible solution:

It should be on us to bubble up files and folders that are relevant for users and package them into a "Home" view

Mockups

Heuristics:
  • Recently modified by me or others
  • Frequency of use: How often do I open this file or folder? How often do others open this file or folder?
  • "Trending" files and folder. Shared with me and very high activity from other users. E.G.
  • Favorites
  • Recently shared with me
What our competitors have:
Google drive home view
