Google, the number One rated website company in the world at this time has finally launched its much anticipated Package, Google Drive, a sort of Cloud storage platform.

However, Google Drive lets you do more than just store your files. Share files with exactly who you want and edit them together, from any device.

Google Drive gives you instant access to Google Docs, a suite of editing tools that makes working together better, even when your teammates are miles away

Similar to other popular free File hosting and sharing websites like SkyDrive from Microsoft, Google Drive offers you 5GB worth of storage, free!

Apart from the fact that you are flexible to use it under your same Google Account, let’s take brief features of the Google Drive.

What you can do on with the Google Drive:

Google Drive gives its users a complete free 5 GB Storage. So you can upload documents, files, images, videos of large sizes without having a second thought. In addition, Google Drive lets you share these files according to how you would want others to have them across the web.

With Google Drive, you can view more than 30 various file extensions or types, Such as JPEG Images, PDF, Mp4 video and audio files. Editing (docx files) is also possible from your Drive even without you downloading them first.

You can Tag the files you upload, so you can easily search and find them using the Tagged-keywords, it's quite a cool way of organizing & managing your files on Google Drive, I like this feature coz I do like my things arranged.

Fortunately, as most of us know, Google keeps its new products under its own roof for easy integration and flexibility for its users. Well, just as you have Google mail and Google Plus, Google Drive has been added to these products so you can still own and control it with one Google Account from your Drive.

Meaning, you wouldn't have to attach huge files to a mail you are sending, simply upload them to your Drive and put the link to the files in the mail your recipient to get it.

Similar to the integration for Gmail and Google Plus above, Google Drive let's you handle and work with your Presentations, Word documents, Spread sheets etc.

Furthermore, Mobile isn't left out in this, the Operating Systems ready to run Google Drive application right now are Windows OS and Mac OS, the App is now on Android so you can access your Drive directly from your phones. For iOS, it is still under construction, but in time, we believe more and more app will be ready for various OS on mobile.

Finally, it’s easy, Grab your Drive now by going here, though you would be needing a Google Account, you can Create one for yourself Here if you don’t have any.
