Google Drive Gets Updated To Bring Even More Functionality For Users 4

The Google Drive app has just been updated to include some major functionality improvements that should bode well for all of you power users out there. The latest update brings the app to version 1.1.470.11, which includes an improved UI and the following:

Edit Google spreadsheets in new native editor

Edit contents of tables in Google Docs editor

Formatting is maintained when copy/pasting within Google Docs

Single tap to enter edit mode in Google Docs editor

Add a shortcut to Drive files/folders to your homescreen for quick access

Send Link now supports copying link to clipboard

These certainly look to be welcome improvements, though we here at Talk Android have noticed that URLs don't show up as linkable when typing them up within the app and need to be corrected from a desktop computer or laptop instead. Nevertheless— users of Google Drive should be pretty happy with the update and will be hard pressed to find anything else to complain about.
