An annoying wait for those who store their video content in cloud storage services is over: Google Drive has released a new update that speeds up the video upload and playback process. Thanks to this innovation, videos can be watched as soon as the upload process is completed. Here are the details and what you need to know…

Google Drive will allow you to watch videos instantly!

In previous versions, after uploading a video to Google Drive, you had to wait for a long transcoding process. Videos had to be converted to a different format to be viewed in Drive’s media player. While this process caused content producers to waste time, this problem was largely solved with the update.

In the new period, a video can be started to be watched as soon as the upload process is finished. However, there are still some restrictions: For example, it is necessary to wait for the file processing process to be completed to start video sharing.

In October, Google updated its Drive media player and announced automatic translation support and faster video uploading features. This new update takes the steps taken in that process further. Such innovations have an important place in Google Drive’s competition with rival cloud services.

Although this update significantly improves the video viewing experience, it is not completely flawless for now. Videos still need to be processed before they can be shared. However, despite these shortcomings, this innovation offered by Google Drive will be a great convenience for users.
