The Google Drive sync doesn't work - at all - returning a blank page with "file system error". OK, so I discovered the reason why nobody gave me an answer - it's because the iA Writer app for Android is a dumpster-fire of horrible bugs. The reviews on Android seem to be bad because people are not willing to pay 30 bucks for an app, and the poorer feature set compared to the equally priced iOS version. With Chromebooks running Android apps, Samsung with its Dex Desktop there is need for iPad/Desktop comparable UI and Features on the Android version. I hope that the money I (and maybe you?) spent on the Android app allows the iA team to provide a nicer experience on Android. There are also web apps that allow you to open files from Drive and edit them in the browser.

The interface just doesn't play nice with a mouse. On the ChromeOS side of things however I instantly uninstalled iA again. Unfortunately the feature set lacks some of the features that you find on iOS, like TeX support. ![]() On my phone I enjoy using iA Writer for taking notes. I also own an Chromebook for development and an Android phone. I started using iA on my iPad and instantly fell in love.
