The new app lets you filter and search for your content across any Google account, then edit docs using the online mobile editors. You can also share items with contacts on your phone from within the app as well.

Among the app's other capabilities: uploading content from your phone (such as a photo), opening documents directly from Gmail, and adding widgets to your home screen to quickly access starred documents, take a photo to upload or create a new document.

Lastly, the Google Docs for Android app lets you use your phone's camera to turn photos with text into editable Google docs with its optical character recognition (OCR) feature. You can access this by selecting "Document from Photo" or clicking the camera icon from the widget. Your converted document will appear in your documents list shortly after you take the picture.
