One important note here - the library sync won't be able to access any folder you are currently using. I will be cut off from accessing any folder outside the application folder that is assigned to me by Google Drive (I don't know how that will show up when using a browser). This also means that sharing with other users will most likely be impossible - I won't have any access to shared folders or files. The only way multiple devices will be able to sync to each other is if they use the same Google Drive account.
Rudy - if you are able to use Import->Local File and import through Google Drive that way, that won't change. That should still work exactly the same way it does now, as that is going through Microsoft's open file dialog. Import->Google Drive will be disabled by default after this change but I may allow users to enable it if it's possible to copy files/folders into the MobileSheets Google Drive folder externally, as then it may still provide some value to users. I'll just make sure to provide a clear label and description in the settings so that users understand that they can't import from any other Google Drive folder.
You are correct that Android 4.4 devices will lose Google Drive support, as well as any device that can't use the Google file picker. As mentioned above, it may be possible for users to copy files into the MobileSheets folder, and then they could import those files into MobileSheets, but I imagine a lot of users won't like having to do that. I'll have to do more research to understand exactly how it will all work and what will or won't be possible.
