Google Drive speeds up access to uploaded videos: no more waiting for processing to complete
Google Drive is receiving updates that make it easier to work with video files.
Here's What We Know
Now videos can be viewed immediately after uploading them, without having to wait for them to go through the processing stage.
Previously, when users uploaded videos to Google Drive, they had to wait for the system to process them and create a streaming-ready version. This process sometimes took considerable time, especially with large video files. Now, however, you can start watching your video right away without waiting for the processing to complete. This is much more convenient for those who often work with video files, as you can now quickly evaluate the uploaded video even if it is still being processed.

However, it's worth noting that the ability to share the video with other users via the built-in player will only appear after the processing is complete. That is, if you want to share the video with others, they will have to wait until the system completes processing.
This update is part of a wider series of changes that Google has been actively implementing in its service recently. For example, the video player interface has recently been improved, and new features for working with documents have been introduced.
As a result, Google Drive continues to improve its functionality and make working with video even more convenient and fast.
The update not only provides convenience, but also improves the overall efficiency of using Drive as a media storage platform.
