Google Drive is now official, offers 5GB of free cloud storage to everyone
Google officially just announced its own cloud storage solution – Drive.Google Drive gives you 5GB of storage the second you sign in to use the
service. No questions asked. The interface is based on Google Docs and
you can collaborate with other people on documents, spreadsheets and
presentations. The sharing and collaboration system is enhanced by
comments, which you get notified for if they are new. If you’ve been using Dropbox, you’ll feel very at home with Google
Drive. That’s because Google has borrowed an idea or two from the
undisputed cloud storage leader, hoping to get to sit in its cozy throne
some day. Drive comes with a desktop client for Windows and Mac OS X
and in the form of a mobile app for Android. It seems though, iPhone
and iPad users will have to wait a bit to get their Drive apps.Once in Drive, you get a list of all your documents from Google Docs
and your files from the designated folder on your computer. Those files
get listed on the service’s mobile app as well.you find 5GB too limiting, Google gives you plenty of upgrade options
for a monthly fee. You can choose between 25GB of cloud storage for
$2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or 1TB for $49.99 month. An added
bonus is that if you choose an upgrade, your Gmail account storage also
increases by 25GB of space.
