Google Drive
Store your photos, documents, and other files on Google Drive to access them on your phone, your
computer, and your other mobile devices. On HTC One (E8), just use your Google Account to sign in to
your Google Drive storage.
You can then:
● Use Gallery to upload your captured photos to Google Drive.
● Share a link to your Google Drive files by email.
● View and edit Office documents that are stored in Google Drive. After creating new Office
documents, you can also save them to Google Drive.
● View PDFs that are stored in Google Drive. You can also export Office documents as PDFs to
Google Drive.
● Check your available Google Drive storage space in Settings.
● Back up HTC One (E8) to Google Drive, so you can easily restore your backup to another HTC
phone next time.
● Use the Google Drive app to manage your online storage.
Note: Uploading files requires you have the Drive app installed on your phone. If this app is not
preloaded, you can download and install it from Google Play.
Note: The Drive app is owned by Google and is not provided by or associated with HTC Corporation.
