This article describes the latest version of the Drive app for Android. To get the latest version, download an update from the Play Store.
With the Drive app on your Android phone or tablet, you can view Google presentation that you’ve created and that have been shared with you. Every time you open a presentation, it’ll update to the latest version. If a collaborator is actively working on it, though, you won’t see updates being made in real time.
The Drive app uses a native viewer for your Google documents, which means you can view and edit them right in the app, not in a web browser.
To view and present a Google presentation with your Android device, tap its name in your Drive.
There is currently no way to edit Google presentations on your Android phone or tablet.
