Google Drive app lets you view protected Office documents

Google Drive, Google's cloud storage service, has just received a new update with which it receives functions, until now, exclusive to its web page service. It is about being able to read Microsoft Office files that were password protected. Obviously, in order to view them correctly we need to have the password. This is something, as we said, that could already be done without difficulty in Google Drive web and the reasons why it has taken so long to implement it in the app are unknown.Aren't Office documents among the most used by companies around the world?

In addition to this long-awaited update, which places both services in the same place, the new version of Google Drive contains the usual security updates and bug fixes. Very soon you will receive the new version of Google Drive in the Android Play Store, but if you don't want to wait, you can download it from a trusted repository such as APK Mirror.

Google's cloud storage service is one of the most used by those of us who have Android on our phones. And not only because Google serves it to us on a tray, pre-installing it on mobile phones, but also because of its simplicity in handling it. The application interface is quite clear, with a home screen where we have the documents that we have uploaded and that have been shared with us, as well as a practical side menu from which we can access different functions of the application.

In this menu we can see the documents that have sent us to our archive, the most recent ones, we can catalog the most important ones and have them in our own favorites section, we can also have files to read offline , something very useful at work because there are times when we don't have Internet, for example when we travel and need to work on a document.

If you haven't tried Google Drive yet, head over to the Play Store and download it. It is very easy to use and you also have free storage available courtesy of Google.
