Finally! Google Drive is receiving an update today that allows mobile users to view and edit spreadsheets in a native editor. That only took forever! There are a few other features, too, but give us a moment to bask in the glory of native spreadsheet editing. Ahhh. Ready? Let's continue.

^{I have seen the glory of the coming of the spreadsheet.}

In addition to this lovely new native editor, you can now also edit tables within Docs. You know, in the event you can peel yourself away from wonderful spreadsheets for even a moment! There are also a couple of new tweaks that have been added to help make things a little nicer for you. Here's the full changelog:

1. Edit Google spreadsheets in new native editor
2. Edit contents of tables in Google Docs editor
3. Formatting is maintained when copy/pasting within Google Docs
4. Single tap to enter edit mode in Google Docs editor
5. Add a shortcut to Drive files/folders to your homescreen for quick access
6. Send Link now supports copying link to clipboard

The big deal here is obviously the native spreadsheet editor (did you hear there's a native spreadsheet editor? I don't think I've said it enough), but the even bigger deal is that Drive is that much closer to being usable on a tablet. And that makes Android one step closer to being a real, grown-up productivity platform. Today is a good day.

And also the most anyone's been excited about editing spreadsheets in years.
