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?

    Go into the Powerpoint app on ipad, on the side click “open”, then under the “other locations” subtitle click “... more”. The apple file system should pop up. You should see google drive under “Locations”. There seems to be an issue with downloading my files but, its there. **IOS 11- Ipad Pro

    I hoped this helped!!!

    I have been trying to figure how to save my Word documents from my iPad and iPhone to Google Drive as well. Apparently we need to purchase the Office suite subscription to allow us to save documents to google Drive. It looks as if we can retrieve them but not save them.

    Actually you can find the option under Places>More>Under Browse>Location and you should be able to see the Google Drive icon. I can edit the files inside google drive and it saves properly. I’m using a paid 365 account but i dont know if it is the difference.

    I had that issue.  This is how I solve it.

    Go to any Apple’s Pages and go to Browse and add Google Drive there via More Locations. Once thats added... go back to Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.  Google Drive should now be available.

    Can you describe what you mean by "Go to any Apple’s Pages and go to Browse and add Google Drive there via More Locations."

    I cannot find what you mean. 

    Thanks
