You can also view other file types stored in Drive and edit them by opening them in other apps installed on your device.

The previous version of the app, Google Docs, will be updated to Drive with your next update in Google Play.

The Drive app also seamlessly integrates with other features on your Android device. Here are some things you can do with the Drive app on your Android App:
