Google Chrome, Google Drive Finally Arrive on iOS App Store (Updated)
For those who thought Google Chrome would only arrive on iOS during a particularly cold day somewhere down below, it would seem that Satan is catching a cool breeze today -- and the search giant is throwing in a Google Drive app for good measure.
Google has announced the release of both Google Chrome and Google Drive apps for iOS on Thursday. Announced during the company's day two keynote at Google I/O, the pair of free universal apps have been long awaited from iOS users.
Google Drive version 1.0.1 is already available from the App Store, offering quick and easy access to documents, photos and videos stored in your 5GB of free cloud storage. Users can make files available offline for access when an internet connection isn't available, and Drive offers easy file sharing as well.
Most impressively, Google Drive allows searching within any kind of file synced across your desktop and other devices, and files stored on Drive can be opened from other iOS apps with just a tap.
Google's Chrome web browser is also making the leap to iOS on Thursday, allowing Mac, PC, Chrome OS and Android users to now sync their bookmarks, tabs and other data seamlessly to iOS devices as well. (If the link doesn't work yet, try back later!)
Google Drive and Google Chrome are both universal apps for the best possible experience on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad; Google Drive is compatible with all devices running iOS 5.0 or later.
