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?

    Hello Mort,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for posting your query.

    Do you have the google drive app installed and is it working fine?

    You may restart the device and check if it works as expected.

    I hope the above information helps. Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Thank you.

    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'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?
