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.

Let us know if you experience any issue.

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

    @David28343329bgb6 To do so,

     

    Open Acrobat Reader-> Click on the Files Tab-> Click Edit on the top right of the screen-> click the red minus sign on the left of Google Drive to remove it-> Click done on the top right.

    Hope this helps.
