Google Drive now supported in Word for iPad?

So Word for iPad's latest update allows integration with Google Drive, but I can't get it to work.

I checked in 'Add a place' - I can select OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, Dropbox or Sharepoint, but no sign of (Google) Drive.

Under ". . . more" , and "Locations" there's a slide button to select Google Drive, but I can't see any effect.  Even with this switched on, Drive doesn't appear under any of the menus.

Is this a bug?

    OK Microsoft - a thousand apologies - GoogleDrive integration works now and it wasn't your fault after all. All is forgiven! Well actually most rather than all.

    According to a number of articles, Office mobile apps are now supposed to offer editing and creation rights for free, i.e. without an Office 365 subscription. The blurb on the Apple AppStore certainly backs this up:

    'The core word experience is free, including viewing, creating and editing documents.'

    In practice this doesn't seem to be the case however! Not sure what the status of this actually is.

    I tried opening and editing files from Google drive but it said I needed an office 365 account. Is this the case for anybody else?

    New Google drive for IOS now allows other iOS apps (including office)  to save in Google Drive.

    Tested and functional.

    so it was Google lagging ... Not Microsoft. 

    :)
