Google has rolled out Google Drive — a place where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff. You can upload and access all of your files — including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs and beyond.
Google Docs is built right into Google Drive, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on anything (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items.
With Google Drive you can store and access your stuff from just about anywhere. You can install Drive on your Mac or PC and can download the Drive app to your Android phone or tablet. Google is also working hard on a Drive app for your iOS devices.
You can search Google Drive by keyword and filter by file type, owner and more. Drive can even recognize text in scanned documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.
You can get started with 5GB of storage for free. You can choose to upgrade to 25GB for US$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. You can find more info at drive.google.com/start .
