Google Drive is the
online storage service launched by Google. It offers 5 GB of free space for you
to store all your archives in the cloud and an app for you to synchronize your
archives.
Just like DropBox and
SkyDrive, Google Drive offers an application that allows you to synchronize a
folder from your computer to Google Drive and other computers and devices.
The Google Drive
application is available for Windows, Mac and also portable or mobile devices
such as smartphones and Tablets, allowing you to access all your files on Google
Drive using these Devices.
One of the main
features on Google Drive is the Google Docs join, that allows you to create new
text documents, spreadsheets and presentations and as well as edit them in real time with your team mates.
In addition, you can
also share your Google Drive stored photos and videos in your Google+ profile
and also attach your big size archives directly from your Gmail accounts.
You can also open more
than 30 different types of files on Google Drive directly from your browser, including
HD videos, Photoshop archives, even without having the Google Drive application
on your computer.
You can also search
for files and archives using a key word or by filtering them according to the
type and other options directly from its web interface. Moreover, Google Drive
can also recognize text and other digitalized documents, like journals and
books using its optic character recognizing technology (OCR).
Another featured resource
on Google Drive is the documents history, which registers every changes or
altercations made in the files or archives and allows you to restore to the old
version the files modified in the last 30 days.
It is very easy to
configure the Google Drive app. First, access the Google Drive webpage, login
with your Google account and download the app. Next, install the application on
your computer.
After installing the Google
Drive app on your computer, run it and login with your Google account. Just
like Dropbox and SkyDrive, it creates a default folder on your computer, and
all the files added to this folder will automatically be synchronized on your
Google
Drive account and as well as with computers and other devices that
support and has Google Drive already installed with your account already logged
in.
