Is there a way to switch between different Google Drive accounts?

Is there a way to switch between different Google Drive accounts on the Note3? In other words, I have personal files saved with one Google drive account and I also have a separate Google Drive account for work stuff. Is there a way to switch back and forth?

Thanks

Yes. When you open drive, tap the drive on the top left and open the menu. You should see your email address associated with your ACCTS. You can switch between them there.

Open Google Drive and then click on the 3 dark gray horizintal lines placed above one another at the top left of the application, then a small menu will appear to the left of the application.

In the new menu you will see a name of your Google Account. Click on the name of the Google Account which is showing to bring uo a list of other Google Accounts to use for Google Drive.

Then when you switch Google Accounts you will have the files associated with that Google Account ready to use.

Are the contents of all of these Drive accounts saved on the storage of the device OR is everything always saved to the GoogleDrive cloud?

Thanks.

All of the files and folders you see while using the Google Drive application are stored online in Google's cloud network.

When you move to another folder inside the Google Drive application then that folder gets opened on Google's secure server computers and then the contents of those folders (only the file name and folder names) are sent to the Google Drive application for you to browse.

Actual file data is only downloaded in its entirety if you long-click on a file and choose "Download a copy" or "Keep on this device"

I just started using Google Drive for work, but apparently already had installed on my phone with my personal account. I want to use it with my work Gmail. When I click on my email after opening the menu to switch, nothing happens. I have tried long pressing as well with no result. Another forum told me you can add an account in Settings, but my only settings options are Cache Size, Clear Cache, Enable Encryption, Transfer over Wi-Fi, About, Open Source Licenses, and Program Policies. Any help would be appreciated!
