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?

    I'm having the same problem.  I've verified that Google Drive is installed and I set the slide switch under Locations for Google Drive to on.  However, Google Drive does not show up as a place.

    Any help?

    Also having the same problem.  GD is working fine, is accessible to other apps, and I've tried restarting my ipad, nothing works!

    Please can you help?

    Thanks Raju

    The Drive app is installed, refreshed & working.

    I've also restarted the iPad, the Drive app and Word.

    On the "Locations" menu I can check the buttons for Drive & Dropbox. Dropbox then appears as an available location, but Drive doesn't.

     I have the same problem... What we have to do?
