While
sharing documents and files between Gmail and Google Drive has been a
nearly seamless experience on the web for some time, integration between
the two apps on the mobile side has been lacking— until now.
Google
rolled out an update to Gmail's iOS app Thursday that makes it easier
for users to view and share documents and files between Drive and Gmail.
Gmail
users on iOS can now view and save files on Google Drive directly from
the Gmail app with "Save to Drive" and "Insert from Drive" options.
Users can also now edit a file's sharing settings from within the Gmail
app.
"The
apps will even tell you if your file isn’t shared with the person
you’re sending it to so you can change the sharing settings before you
send it," Google software engineer, Simon Forsyth, explained in a blog
post.
The
update also brings new account management options for users who have
multiple Gmail accounts. Those who have more than one account can choose
which accounts appear within the app while remaining signed into the
account elsewhere on their device.
Gmail's
settings menu has also been tweaked so users can swap out their profile
photo from within the app. The updated iOS app is available in the App
Store. A similar update rolled out to Gmail's Android users earlier this
month.
