I have a more in-depth issue. I can get to where I can create a PDF but when I want to save it to my Google Drive the option is no longer available. All I have is One Drive, My iPad, Dropbox and iCloud. I was able to save to my drive yesterday but not today. I thought it might be because I didn’t install the newest update, so I did and still a problem.

You have to have the Google Drive app installed, and you have to add it as a sharing option:

  1. Tap share icon
  2. Scroll all the way to the right on the middle row of sharing options
  3. Tap More
  4. Find "Copy to Drive in the list and enable the switch next to it
  5. Tap Done on the top right

Also, you cannot save regular web pages to Google Drive; you can only save PDFs and some other types of files. But you can convert regular webpages to PDF by tapping share icon then tapping "Create PDF" in the bottom row of sharing options. You can then share that to Google Drive with the share icon on the top right.
