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?

    Another update this morning and still no access to google drive.

    maybe Microsoft employees are not allowed to have a google account and so they can't test it ! :)

    Raju please take the time to read this thread from the beginning. Everybody that came here has got the same  issue and have  the Google drive App installed and functional...  and nobody has confirmed that it ever worked. Not a single person. 

    do you have an iPad ? did you get it to work ?
