Do you mean how do you upload them? Doesn't that become an option after you install Drive?
...or how do you download them from Google Drive?
Simply upload the file on Google Drive...
I think we need the poster to clarify what it is they are trying to do first. :)Quote:

If you have something like an audio book stored on Google Drive, can you DL to your device? I know you can make it available offline but how can you DL it.

When you make it available offline it does appear to download it - although where it stores it I don't know (I cant find it)! I'm guessing it's in some protected storage/database, as appears to be the case with "Play" Music that you make available offline.Quote:

If you view your Drive in a web browser then there is a download option.
However, on Android I have used Astro File Manager to copy/download a file from my Google Drive to another folder on my device. Astro File Manager has the ability to connect directly to your Google Drive, which it then sees as another folder from which you can do all the usual file operations.
Todays update to Google Drive now has the option to "Download a copy" (by long pressing on the file). However, it always seems to download it as a PDF, regardless of the original file type!? And where it saves it to (you don't get the option) I don't know!? So I'm not sure as to its usefulness unfortunately?!
