These Android add-ons allow third-party applications to better integrate with Google’s productivity apps.
The functionality builds on existing partner integrations available for Google's productivity software on the web.
Those existing integrations have been available for users accessing the services from their computers.
Users can find the add-ons in the add-ons sections of the Google Docs and Sheets apps, as well as in special collections inside the Google Play Store.
