Display Docs from Google Drive on Nest Hub Max

CAPacelli — Sun, 12 Jun 2022 15:18:16 GMT

Like *many* people, I have a large number of cooking recipes stored on my Google Drive as .doc and .pdf files.

Nest Hub Max would be the perfect screen for the kitchen of it displayed these files from my Drive. But... It does not.

Google - this is a colossal miss. Hub Max needs to support viewing document files from users' Drive accounts.

Please add functionality to make Hub Max truly, actually useful in the kitchen.

Legitimately would buy one right now if the device had this extremely basic functionality

Hi Alex

Thanks for sharing that link, however the provided process is nowhere near as easy/intuitive as simply being able to view a .doc or .pdf on the Hub screen.

Really need to add Drive as an app to Hub or provide a way to use the Hub browser to access and view document files on Drive

Great! If you view the Google support forums, reddit, or do a web search there are many folks requesting this functionality, not just me 😉
