Google is introducing Google Drive—a place where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff. Whether you’re working with a friend on a joint research project, planning a wedding with your fiancé or tracking a budget with roommates, you can do it in Drive. You can upload and access all of your files, including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs and beyond.
Initially, Google Drive would be available for Android devices, PC and Mac. The company said that support for iPhone and iPad would be added later. The service, which would compete with popular apps like Dropbox, Microsoft's Sky Drive and Apple's iCloud, would allow users to store up to 5GB data in Google's servers for free.
Google Drive will work with Google Docs, hence giving users ability to edit or create documents within the app itself. This will give Google an advantage over Dropbox, an extremely popular cloud-based service, through which users can only sync their files.
Google said that users who want more space would be able to upgrade. "You can choose to upgrade to 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or even 1TB for $49.99/month. When you upgrade to a paid account, your Gmail account storage will also expand to 25GB,".
Drive is built to work seamlessly with your overall Google experience. You can attach photos from Drive to posts in Google+, and soon you’ll be able to attach stuff from Drive directly to emails in Gmail. Drive is also an open platform, so we’re working with many third-party developers so you can do things like send faxes, edit videos and create website mockups directly from Drive. To install these apps, visit the Chrome Web Store—and look out for even more useful apps in the future.
This is just the beginning for Google Drive; there’s a lot more to come.
