I see that on my Elipsa, but not my ClaraHD. It’s likely a feature only for the latest or top of the line models, like Dropbox used to be, and OverDrive before it.
It functions similarly to Dropbox. On my iPhone, I saved a Project Gutenberg book to my Google Drive, then used the Drive iOS app to move the file into the Rakuten Kobo folder. Then I resynced my Elipsa and voilà! The book was in My Google Drive.
Although I’ve used Dropbox since its first days, I have become quite unenchanted with their server side move. My WIP no longer resided on my Mac. If I wanted to edit it, I needed an Internet connection to access the Dropbox servers. That’s not quite what I want. Even with Google Fiber, there was always a delay when I opened my WIP. Not optimal or comforting. Besides, sometimes the Internet goes down. Now I’ll play with Google Drive since I’ve never really used it much. I’m happy to have an alternative.
