How do I save my document directly to Google Drive?

I want to save my document directly to Google Drive, but the only options I have are "Share", "Save To Document Cloud", and "Export PDF" (I'm currently not paying for a membership so I can't access this), none of which allow me to save my file to a specified location. I must be missing something because I've never used any sort of file reader/editor where I couldn't do something as basic as choosing where to save a file. I've been fiddling around with the app for a half hour now and I just can't figure it out. Does anyone know how to do this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay in response.

You can save a copy of the PDF to Google Drive using the Share option provided in the application.

When you open the PDF, click on the share icon and select "Share a copy".

Then, click on Continue and select "Save to Drive" from the list of options appear.

The "Save to Drive" option will appear only if the Google Drive application is installed on your device.

Hope the information helps.

Hi there,

 

Please note that Adobe Acrobat Android integrates with Google Drive.

Once you have connected a Google account,  you can easily save your files to Google Drive using 'Save a Copy' option

Is there a solution to this for anyone else who is not on Android?
