What Is Google One And How Does Google Drive Work

What is Google Drive?

Store files: Drive starts you with 15GB of free online storage. You can store a wide range of file types and folders - even Office files. Create files: You can create documents and files on the fly with integrated Docs, Sheets and Slides apps. Access your files from anywhere: Your files in Drive can be reached from any smartphone, tablet, or computer. Share with others: You can quickly invite others to view, download, and comment and collaborate on your files in Drive. Work offline: If you aren’t connected to the internet, you can make some files available offline to view and edit (see how here). See old versions: You can look back as far as 30 days on most file types, making it easy to see changes and go back to previous versions. Search: Drive can recognise objects in your images and text in scanned documents - just enter a keyword in the search bar. Google Photos: You can store your photos in Drive and then access them and edit them with Google Photos. Scan documents: The Android app lets you scan all your paper documents as PDF - just snap a photo of it. Save Gmail attachments: Hover over an attachment in Gmail and look for the Drive logo to save any attachment to your Drive. Drive apps: You can do everything from edit a profile photo to create a mind map, with over 100 integrated apps.

Go to drive.google.com. You’ll see “My Drive”, which has your files and folders you uploaded or synced, including any Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Slides, and Google Forms you created. If you don’t see any files in your Drive, then go ahead and upload files from your computer or create files in Drive. You can even work with Microsoft Office files in Drive. You can then share your files or folders in Drive so other people can view, edit, or comment on them.

On your Android device, find and open the Google Drive app. As above, you’ll be able to access, upload, share and manage your Google Drive content through the app. Google Drive is integrated into other Google apps, like Photos, with universal access across your Android device.

On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Drive app. Just like Android and on a computer, you’ll have full access to your Drive and its contents.
