Google has finally unveiled its cloud service called Google Drive available at drive.google.com . The name may confuse at first as one may directly think of Google’s map and navigation service. However, this is completely about cloud or online data storage. While people think of this as an iCloud competitor, we firmly believe that both are different. First difference being that the Drive client will ba available for all platforms including iOS, PC, Mac and Android.
Google is giving a free 5GB storage upon sign up and then users may pay for their choice of extra storage which goes up to 16TB. The cheapest plan is $2.5/pm for 20GB which is quite cheap. Now you can send large files on email by uploading it to Google Drive and simply drop a link to the file in email. The online access page supports opening up to 30 different file formats which is simply great. The only set back to the service is that Google will own everything thats put on Google Drive. Sometimes we do have to read that thing called privacy policy. But life is too short to read that. To download the Google Drive Android App, Click Here or scan the QR code below.
