Is there a way to do this?
Currently, the GDrive links I click in my emails open in Safari.
Is this currently a limitation of the app (or iOS 7)? Is there a configuration I can change?

Best Answer
If you open the links in the Gmail app for iOS, and you have the necessary Google Drive app installed (Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and/or Google Slides), Gmail will by default open the links in a Google Drive app. You can enable or disable that feature in Gmail through Menu > Settings > Google Apps.
Alternatively (though it's less direct), you can paste the link into Chrome for iOS, and there will be a bar at the top of the page to open the link in a GDrive app.
