when I go to the google drive section in the Adobe iPad app it only shows the 'my drive' option and the shared drive doesn't come up?

any ideas?

I have this problem as well.  Any updates on fixing this?  It's rather annoying to take something from a shared drive, put it in my drive, make the edits, and then put it back in the google shared drive.

 

To be clear, this is effecting Google Workspace users.

Has this been resolved? My Drive and Shared Drives are inherently different products in the drive suite and function differently. My company uses shared drives exclusively and since the ipad app doesn't support this, removed the functionality of Adobe Reader for iPad.

@montana5E9F Would you mind rechecking the procedure? 

 

By "again," I mean removing the drive from Reader Mobile and re-adding it.

 

Please let us know if this works, or we will need to investigate further.

I removed the drive and re-added it. It is still only showing 'My Drive' and a file called 'Shared with me" but not showing any of the actual 'Shared Drives'. Image attached.

hi jamie221618790i9d,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Do you mind checking if the shared drive is in the "My Drive" folder?

Thank you for your patience,

As expected.  Shared drives are not part of My Drive.  They are always listed separately. 

 

Derek - you really need to set up some shared drives and try this yourself.  It is immediately obvious they are missing.

As per the issue description the Google Drive option is not visible. Would you mind sharing a few details to understand the issue better?

1. Screenshot of the issue?

2. Application version?

 

Make sure that the app is updated to the latest version.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Thanks,

Hi harsh,

in this section there should also be a shared drive that I use for work. It shows in all other apps but not this one?

Thanks for providing the application version but we are not able to see the screenshot attached. Could you please try to attach it once again and also tell us the iOS version?
