Your best bet is GDrive.NET UWPВ here, giving more or less a full Drive experience, though in-place editing (as on a desktop class browser) isn't possible - instead, documents are auto-converted to Office formats and edited using the applications on the phone. Still, the slightly oddly named (but get past this) Maps App Discovery UWP works rather brilliantly on Windows 10, with map, traffic, satellite and many more views, all working with Google's public APIs. Google Maps on other platforms has access to real time traffic data while navigating, and you can get this data on Windows 10 Mobile through various third party Google Maps clients, but not as you drive. You don't really need this, arguably, since Windows 10 Maps is excellent these days, but Google does have extra POI in some areas and it's worth having as a reference. your Microsoft account, Skype, etc.) Google CalendarДitto, it's all part of the Google account integration (via CalDAV), and is accessed through Outlook Calendar as part of the standard apps package.

And the thing is that Gmail is actually pretty wonderful, with a superb web interface, unbelievable search speed and useful attachment viewers, plus infinite email archiving, so there's a good chance that you're using Gmail to some degree, whatever smartphone you're currently rocking. The big one, the moment you start to use Google online you're almost forced into creating a Google account and then you have a Gmail account whether you like it or not. Here then is the best way to accessing all of Google's ecosystem on Windows 10 Mobile: Gmail

But it means that a dedicated 'Store app' for something like Google Maps isn't needed, since a user just types and Robert's their father's brother.Д®ven though quite a bit of your 'stuff' - contacts, email, calendar, photos, locations, and so on, is probably hosted in Microsoft's own ecosystem (OneDrive, Outlook, and so on), there's a strong chance that you have some interest in accessing Google's services at least some of the time - perhaps you have shared content with Android-using friends, perhaps you have a secondary smartphone that runs the OS, or perhaps you simply use Google a lot on your tablet or laptop. And a web solution proves important to quite a bit of what follows. It's absolutely true that there are around half a billion people now on Windows 10 and able to run UWP applications, but the vast majority of these people access everything online through the window (pun intended) of their favourite web browser - usually Chrome, Firefox, or (now) Edge.

Leaving Google and Android as by far the biggest smartphone OS by installed base and smartphone market share.

Nokia and Symbian found the first nuggets in the smartphone goldrush, but insisted on trying to dig it out using a penknife, with Apple and then Google coming along with spades and then bulldozers.
