Google Drive

google drive storage
Google drive is a service offered by the infamous Google Corporation, the creators of the prolific Google search engine. Google drive is an online and cloud based storage solution, it allows the user to store all of their files online so that they can be accessed from any web enabled device or smart phone. Inclusive storage has recently been made 3 times bigger with the service offering 15GB of storage completely for free. Rumours about Google drive started making an appearance as early as 2006, and by 2014 the service had a whopping 190 million users. 

What are The Best Features?

A great benefit of Google drive is the ability for multiple people and organisations to collaborate on the development of a single file, without any physical presence required. Files can be accessed by anyone that the owner permits, and multiple users can access the file at once. This increases productivity and enables a multitude of different users to work on the same file at the same time. It doesn’t matter what country the users are located in or what time it is there; companies, agencies, and corporations alike use the service to increase productivity and work efficiently.

The owner of a file has full control, they can decide where (or if) the file gets shared, who can access it, its visibility, and even transfer ownership. The transfer of ownership is simple, but essential for many people, you can keep ownership of a project until it’s finished, and then transfer ownership to your client.  Users can create a URL for their file; allowing them to share it wherever they please. Files can be viewed, edited, and even commented on by whoever the owner decides.

Google docs is an intuitive add-on to Google drive, it is a fully fledged office suite that enables users to collaborate on files at the same time.  Google docs enables users to work on word documents, spread sheets, forms, and even drawings.  In fact Google drive enables the use of almost all types of files used in digital creation, including Photoshop and  archived RAR files. The inclusive 15GB of storage is shared across all Google platforms; Gmail, Drive, Docs, and Google+ Images.  Prices are very competitive with 100GB of storage costing less than $2 per month, and 1TB for less than $10 per month, the service also boasts huge data storage plans of up to 30TB, for a very competitive monthly cost. The initial free storage was once 1GB, followed shortly by 5GB, and then all plans were revised; resulting in 15GB being offered for free.

Is There an App?

Yes, there’s a Google drive client for desktop PC, mac, and smartphone. The client combines all of Google drive, docs, and Google + features in to one place.  There is no official client for Linux, but open source developers have created a suite called Grivewhich allows essentially all features to be accessed on a Linux computer.  The installable software’s are very nice to use; following Google’s new aesthetically pleasing trend of bright colours and simplistic design.
