Google Drive-Cloud Storage-Review and Guide for Starter

The long awaited Google Drive is simple ,useful,straightforward cloud storage and syncing services that offers a full 5 GB of online storage for free,with no surprises along the way.Utilitarian rather than flashy,it makes storing files to the cloud and syncing them among multiple devices as simple as saving a file to a local hard drive.

If that's all you have expecting from Google Drive you will be pleased.But if you had been expecting for a Google Drive/Google Docs combination that would make it easy to edit files in the cloud that you created on your PC or Mac,you will be disappointed.It may be that Google will get that straight at some point in the future,but for now it's a non-starter.

Easy to Install and use

Google Drive currently installs as an app for Windows,Mac OX and Android.A version for iOS is not yet available but Google says it will be out soon,although the company hasn't given the release date yet.

After you installs the Google Drive in your Mac or PC,it shows up as another drive in Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder app.Like rival service DropBox,You can use it just like a physical drive-so you can copy or move files to it,and create new files and sub folders inside it.The files and sub folders are uploaded to your Google Drive on the web and are accessible there.They are also synced to any other devices onto which you have installed Google Drive.So if you edit the files on any device on which you have a Google Drive installed,they are synced to the cloud and all your other Google Cloud -enabled devices.

Using the Drive is simple as using like an ordinary drive.If you edit or move a file,then it is automatically synced to other devices:;you do not have to do anything extra.
