Google Drive - Offering Free Storage Of 5GB
Posted on 4:31 PM by Admin
Google has officially unveiled Goggle Drive, its foray into free online storage.
Consumers can get 5GB of free storage to stash anything they want
from photos to videos to documents. They'll also be able to use the
space to collaborate with others.
If 5GB isn't enough space, you can buy more – from 20GB for $4.99 a
month up to 1TB for $49.99 a month. Paid Google Drive subscribers
automatically get a Gmail upgrade to 25GB of storage.
Competitors
such as Box charges $240 per year for 50GB of storage. The new SkyDrive
charges $50 per year for 100GB and Dropbox will cost you $100 per year
for 50GB.
According to Google, its new storage offering allows you to:
- Work with others on projects involving Google Docs, which is integrated into Google Drive. Once you share a file stored on Google Drive, you will be automatically notified when someone comments on the shared material.
- Access your files from any web browser. There's also an Android app for accessing the drive, and an iOS application is in the works.
- Search your documents, including text in scanned documents. Image recognition is also supported so you can search for photos, too.
<p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>
Google Drive is designed to work seamlessly with other Google apps.
For example, you can attach a photo stored on the drive to a Google+
posting. You'll soon also be able to do the same thing with Gmail,
Google promised.
What's more, Google said that it's making the drive an open platform
in order to encourage third-party apps for the product so you'll be able
to do things such as send faxes and edit video directly from the drive.
