Google Drive 2.1.1 - app

Google Drive is a productivity application that allows users to access their documents and files from Google's cloud.

If you're a Google Drive on Mac user, you're going to want to download this app for your iOS device. Google Drive for iOS allows users to access their documents from the cloud but there is pretty big limitation, which I'll get to later.

Google Drive's interface is simple and intuitive. The main screen shows quick categories for your documents including starred, recent, and offline. There is also a search bar on the top for quick access. Images are easily viewed by swiping through them.

When you tap on a note or folder, you can view its contents or the document itself. You can also make comments on Google Docs files. Clicking on the small arrow on the right will bring up options for changing permissions and saving for offline viewing.

Unfortunately, Google Drive only allows users to view their documents but not edit them. There is an option to open up your documents in another app for editing but Google should really bake editing into this application to make it truly useful.

In the end, Google Drive is a good first step in bringing Google's cloud service to iOS but its lack of editing features makes it lag behind its Android counterpart.
