Step-by-Step Guide: Exporting Google Docs from your iPhone
Contents
To export a Google Doc from your iPhone as a PDF or Word file, you can start by opening the Google Docs app and tapping on the document you want to export.
Once in the document, tap the three-dot icon in the top right corner of the screen. From the following drop-down menu, tap Share & Export.

From the following menu, you can add another user to the document with Share, to copy the document, or copy the link to the document to your clipboard. To create a PDF Word file, you’ll want to tap the option that says Send a Copy.
Once you tap on that option, a pop-up window will appear asking you to choose between PDF and Word file (.docx). Select the option you want by tapping on it, and make sure a blue checkmark appears next to the file type. Then tap OK.

Exporting between Apple devices with AirDrop
After tapping OK a gray menu will appear at the bottom of your screen. This is called iOS Share Sheet. From here, you can AirDrop the file by tapping on the user available in that section. You can also attach the document to an email, import it into iBooks if it’s a PDF, or add it to iCloud Drive.

If you choose the Email option, the file will appear as an attachment to a blank email in the Apple Mail app. Simply add a recipient and message, and click send. The recipient can automatically save the item to their files or the appropriate app.
Exporting Google Docs with Print Preview
Another option is also available to export the document. From the Google Doc of your choice, tap the three-dot icon and then tap Print Preview. Another window will open with a preview of your document. From there, tap the Upload icon in the top right corner.
This will take you to the iOS share sheet once again. From there, you can pursue many of the same options as the share and export options discussed earlier.
