Google Drive introduced a dark theme, but unfortunately, it is not available for Docs or Sheets.
Google Drive currently features a dark mode with some limitations.
The introduction of dark mode to Google Drive’s web version marks a further enhancement in user experience, now available for both Google Workspace customers and users with personal Google accounts.
The dark mode rollout is gradual, taking up to 15 days to reach all users. Only three out of five tested accounts in the Net Workshop now have the dark mode option enabled in the browser.
