I'm not 100% sure what I need to be looking at to accomplish this, but from my Samsung Galaxy 4s, if I am using Chrome and select a link to upload a file a screen pops up that says "Choose an Action". I have quite a few options, one being Google Drive so I can browse to Google Drive and select the file from my Drive account (no reason to store it my device). From my Nexus 7, I seem to only have the default options when I do this (Camera, Camcorder, Documents). What do I need to do to have my Nexus 7 behave like my Galaxy 4s? I use the same Launcher on both (Nova Launcher) and I use Chrome on both and I have Google Drive installed on both. I didn't really see any settings in Chrome or Google Drive or the Device settings. I'm just not sure what I need to do at this point. Thanks.
 
You shouldn't, I believe... After installing Google Drive it SHOULD register itself as a file location, and therefore, be available as an option when uploading/downloading something. Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing Google Drive?

It MIGHT be a ROM difference, though... Even if you're not using TouchWiz, it's still underlying in the S4 (I'm assuming you're not rooted/flashed) but the Nexus has 'vanilla Android' underneath. Again, I doubt there's a difference in how both handle file locations, but I might be wrong.
 
Both devices have the "factory" rom loaded... I haven't changed the Roms. Both are Verizon devices and I believe they both came with Google Drive installed. It looks like I can not uninstall Google Drive from my Nexus 7 (to re-install it). I can only uninstall updates. The two devices are using different versions of Android. The Nexus 7 is on 4.4.2 and the Galaxy 4s is on 4.3. I would assume the Nexus 7 would have better integration with Google products. =)
