Okay this article is dog shit but Google Drive has absolutely awful search and is missing so many basic features even for things like finding out where a file is so I’m not defending Google there, the author makes a bad critique but it’s a thing worth critiquing.
Subjectively, material design in its newest iteration is just also ugly as sin too, android 8 - android 10 was peak android, get these fucking pastels and overly large buttons off my phone and bring back the white/blue simplicity of yesteryear gosh darn it.

Gmail on mobile is pretty horrendous as well.
Me: “Hey Google, can you pull up the emails with links to the concert tickets I purchased a few months back?”
Google: “Here is every correspondence you’ve had with the ticket seller smashed into a single email with only the latest one visible”
“But I purchased two tickets separately that came in different emails, how do I just get to those?”
“🤷♂️”
Email in general is hell. It’s meant to be individual letters but has now become the most unholy form of IM.
The simplest most ridiculous omission - Use the same signature as desktop for all mails.
