Following the release of Material 3 tweaks, Google Photos is ready to add the “Documents” view on its web interface.
This view is already offered on Android and iOS. Included in the mobile app last year, the “Documents” view can be located in the library along with Favourites, Albums, Utilities, Archive, Locked Folder, and Trash. The dropdown displays three of the top collections and a link to 'View all documents.'
Like the carousel on mobile, Google Photos can add “automatic albums”— which provide an “Archive after 30 days” — for Screenshots, Books & magazines, Event information, Identity, Notes, Payment methods, Receipts, Recipes & menus, and Social.

In addition, the grid can also be accessed by searching “Documents” or directly navigating to the following web address: photos.google.com/u/0/documents.
Google Photos on the web addition has pushed the boundaries towards excellence that reflects how people take pictures of important documents, with the Gemini-powered Ask Photos in the future serving as another way to access this information conversationally.
Meanwhile, Google Wallet is also adding a feature that allows you to save important documents as passes.
