Is there any way to check if my Android device is supported?

The requirements for the app to work are as follows.

  1. The device must be a GMS-equipped device certified by Google.
  2. The device must meet Android version requirements.
  3. The device must not be Google TV.

1. The device must be a GMS-equipped device certified by Google.

This app accesses the Google Drive using functions included in Google Mobile Services (GMS).

Therefore, the app can only be used with an Android device that has been certified by Google.

You can check if your device is a Google-certified one from the list of supported Android devices provided by Google.

To search for your device, open the file and use the following commands.

  • Windows or Chrome OS: Ctrl + F
  • Mac: Command + F
  • Mobile device: Menu -> then Find on page, or tap Search icon (this may vary depending on which app you use to look at the list)

Google Play supported devices

Please note that devices registered with Google may be registered with a name that is different from the commercially available product name or manufacturer name.

2. The device must meet Android version requirements.

This app requires Android 5.0 or higher as its operating requirement.

Therefore, the app cannot be installed on tablets and smartphones running less than Android 5.0.

Android TV devices are generally running Android 5.0 or higher and meet the version requirements.

3. The device must not be Google TV.

Although it is possible to install Android TV apps on Google TV devices such as Chromecast, it has been confirmed that access to Google Drive is restricted and thus the app does not function.

When using the app on a TV device, please make sure the device is not Google TV.

Notes

Even with a device that meets the above requirements, all or part of the functions of the app may not work due to differences in device specifications, operating environment, the type and size of content to be displayed, and specifications differences due to the lot or model of the product shipment.
