There are a number of apps that work with Google Drive and are compatible with all supported browsers. These applications are available from the Chrome Web Store. Some of them are first-party, such as Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. They can be used to view, edit and create files in various formats, manage projects, edit images and videos, fax and sign documents, create flowcharts and much more. Some of the Drive apps work offline, although only on Google Chrome and Chrome OS.
To use an app, you must sign into the Chrome Web Store. All of the third-party apps are free to install. Most Drive apps have the permission to access users’ files outside of Google Drive. Files in many formats can be handled through third-party apps. The Google Drive apps for Android and iOS can use apps installed on the device to open unsupported file types.
According to Wikipedia, the Google Drive app on Android and iOS supported editing of documents and spreadsheets until April 2014, when the capability was moved to the standalone apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides. The Google Drive app on Android allows users to take a photo of a document, sign, or other text, and use Optical Character Recognition to convert to text that can be edited.
The Safari browser on iPhone allows you to view documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and edit and create Google Docs documents and spreadsheets. Most other mobile devices can also view and edit Google Docs documents and spreadsheets using a mobile browser. PDF files can be viewed but not edited. According to Wikipedia, in October, 2014, Google Drive for Android was updated with a Material Design facelift, improved search, the ability to add a custom message while sharing a file, and a new PDF viewer.
These are some of the apps that use Google Drive, letting you open files right from Drive on the Web.
