Google Drive now supported in Word for iPad?

I am able to open files from my Google Drive in Word as described above but like everyone else am still having problems saving the file back to google drive after I edit the document, and like others have lost work that I edited and thought it was auto saving to GD.  However I believe there have been times were it did auto save back to google drive because I opened it on my PC and the file had been updated.  

I am wondering if anyone has had success with saving back to google drive after editing the file, without having to save as a different copy or something, as that is just anoying to have to have duplicate files.  I also do have a 365 account

One other issue I've had is opening certain word files from word into google drive it says it cannot open that certain file type, however it is the same exact file type as others I have opened.  

Any help is appreciated as this issue has been extremely annoying.  Just trying to be productive and edit some files!

I can access the drive by clicking the "More" Button, and the "Locations" Button, but there is no permanent adding this as a location item, I have to complete those options each time. Is this the only way to get it to work? Thank you!

I have found a work round for this problem although I can't get google drive to appear in the list to save to I gave found if you go to print you get the option for air print or open in another app google drive then shows up in the list of other apps you can the save the document to google drive then print it from anywhere.

How did you get it to work?  I get empty files with a corruption error.

It does work, but not the way most people would expect. Google doesn't integrate as well when you take it so far out of its ecosystem. It will not appear as a "place" in Word on iPad like Dropbox does. Instead, you need to tap "More" beside the 3 dots and navigate. By default it will show iCloud, but if you tap "Locations" you can select Google Drive and browse your folders from any Google Account.

You should also be aware that saving to GD isn't as seamless either. While the file will appear to be auto-saving, thousands of users online have reported that they have lost information when they thought it was auto-saving back to GD. I lost over an hour of client interview notes today. It is usually safer to save a Duplicate somewhere in Dropbox or Onedrive and edit that version.
