The purpose of Google Drive is to store files so that you can easily work with them. Drive provides two different ways you can look at (and work with) the files you've stored or created.
You switch between the two views by using the Switch to List or Switch to Grid buttons, near the upper-right corner of the Drive screen. (See Figure 1.)

Just click one of the buttons and the view immediately changes. As you work with the differing views, you'll discover that Grid view takes a bit longer to display than does List view, particularly if you don't have a fast Internet connection. The reason is because Drive needs to generate the larger preview thumbnail images used in Grid view. Thus, if you have many, many files in Drive or if you have a slower Internet connection, you may want to work more with List view than with Grid view.
