IPad – Manage gmail label on iPad

gmailipad

My iPad is configured with GMail (using an Exchange account, not IMAP. But I don't think this is relevant). I would like to create and manage folders in the Mail app.
I noticed that:

  • it is sync to my GMail label.
  • this feature is not possible in the native Mail app, neither in the official GMail app
  • the only way to do it is to use a PC or a Mac (with the GMail desktop version)
  • in the GMail mobile web version, I cannot find any button to force desktop version.

What is the simplest workaround?

Two workarounds come to mind - find an iOS browser on the app store that will spoof a desktop browser version string and see if gmail will serve up the full version to your iOS device or to use an app to screen share back to an actual desktop browser to gain that functionality.
