Google Drive, the new software-cum-service lets you store, access and sync 5GB of files not just online, but also offline. So you can keep them just about anywhere, across multiple computing devices. Be it your office or home PC, Mac, laptop, mobile device - or even online on someone else’s PC. All auto-synced to the most recent version. For a more detail overview, head to https://drive.google.com .
To get going, login to your Gmail or Google account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll have to create one to use Google Drive. Incidentally, Google is providing the Drive feature to account holders in a phased manner. You can check your Google Drive access status at http://drive.google.com/start.
If you have been granted access, go ahead and install the Google Drive for your Mac/PC application by clicking on the Download Google Drive link that you’ll find in the left column of the screen. Copy or move some files into Google Drive. And then once you’ve installed the application on some other devices you’ll see how simple it is to keep data accessible and up-to-date everywhere. You can make changes to a file on a computer, mobile device or the web and find the changed reflected wherever Google Drive is installed. And why just talk of working alone.
Google Drive makes sharing files and collaborative working also much simpler. For example, instead of uploading and attaching files to your mail, you can simply share a file that’s in your Google Drive. You can also install the Google Drive app on your Android tablets and smartphone. An iPad and iPhone/ iPod app of Drive is in the offing.
