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?

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 started out with nothing, and I've still got most of it left.

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?

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 ?
