The options offered by the email application Gmail for Android there are many and, in addition, almost all of them very useful. Since the arrival of the use of multiple accounts (from different services) the possibilities that the Mountain View company has for development. But there was one that will be solved through an update. We tell you what it is.
This is none other than the compatibility of Gmail for Android With the service Microsoft Exchange, which adds a professional use to the application we are talking about (which is added to the staff that it currently offers, and very effectively, it must be said). The fact is that with this new possibility the use that can be given to development is increased with, in addition, quite simple since the corresponding option seems at the end of the usual list in the work of Android creators.
A good detail that should be mentioned about the new addition for Gmail for Android is that the compatibility of this option is compatible with all devices who use the email application, so the version of the operating system or the hardware of a phone or tablet is not an impediment. By the way, the update deployment has not started, and it will be done gradually as usual (it may take some patience, but as soon as we have the manual installation APK we will provide it).
A notable absence
Well, the truth is that Exchange support was one of the absence of Gmail for Android, and that almost two years ago the "can" was opened in the possibility of using other services in this development that were not from the company itself. Mountain View (such as Outlook or Yahoo!), but the jump to the the service answer par excellence when it comes to managing mail.

Not much has been said about the integration itself, only that it will be in the version 6.4 Gmail for Android the one that will provide it and that there will be two mail flows that will be the starting point if Exchange is used, in order to give personal and professional support with the application we are talking about.
A final detail
Before concluding we want to comment that there is another novelty apart from the one indicated by Gmail for Android by Google: Drive notifications They are already compatible with those of the Chrome browser, so that you gain solvency and speed when handling the options of the online storage services and, also, it allows you to save time to know details of what is saved and the actions that are done.
