While Nokia has been busy all morning unveiling its next Windows phone, Google has steadily improved products by pushing out updates for two of its most popular services. It also finally opened one of its more humanitarian-geared apps to the public.
Google Drive
Google Drive doesn't update too often, although it has made up for such lengthy wait intervals by boosting its copy-and-paste function on Thursday.
People can now paste formatted spreadsheet tables into Gmail - no matter which browser they use. Chrome users get an added bonus and can bring shapes from drawings into a slide.

Google Maps
Google updated its Maps for Android app yesterday, but the company apparently removed offline-mapping support by eliminating a dedicated button. Google has now quickly corrected its mistake, though.
Google announced on Thursday that it's rolling out a "Make this map area available offline" button. Another improvement includes a "Where's Latitude?" item in the sidebar that reminds users that Latitude will shutdown on 9 August. Oh, and the Android app has added navigation support for 19 additional countries.

One Today
Last but not least: Google launched One Today earlier this year. However, users had to request an invite to join. But not any more. Starting today it's free to download for all US-based Android users.
One Today brings together people and nonprofits through "the simple act of giving $1," enabling donors with the opportunity to give a dollar or more to a growing list of nonprofit organizations. The app also presents a new project every day from a nonprofit that is "changing the world".?
