Google Drive integration added to Chrome OS

Google Drive integration was added to Chrome OS with the latest dev update (20.0.1116.0). As you can see, Google Drive now has its own folder (or drive, if you will). You can create new folders and you can move files around - both actions will be synced to the web-version of Google Drive. You can't place a file in multiple folders, though. If the file is placed in multiple folders online, it will apparently only be placed in the "first" folder in the file manager. Within Google Drive you can drag and drop files and folders - but if you want to copy of move files or folders from the "Download"-folder on Chrome OS into the Google Drive-folder, you'll need to use copy and paste (or cut and paste). Files which were not created with Google Docs can be pinned for offline usage. So far, this simply means that you can move them around and that they can be viewed in Chrome (if Chrome has a viewer for the relevant file type).
