Google Drive - It's Like Dropbox But With the Google Docs Edge

Google Drive is one of the most interesting applications I have seen from Google in some time. With the presumed failure of Google+ being unable to compete with Facebook and Twitter, Google has went up against Dropbox by offering an almost identical service to Dropbox.

Dropbox is described as a free cloud storage service which lets you bring your photos, documnets, and videos anywhere and share them easily. With the advantage of never having to email yourself a file again!

Cool, right?

I was already using google docs to share my business files between office, home, and colleague computers.

Google docs was a great service for collaboration of work on a single document which more than one person could edit at the same time.

Now, Google Docs has been incorporated into Google Drive!

Google Drive allows up to 5 GB of data to be syncronised between computers.

Dropbox only offers upto 2 GB of files to be syncronised. So, Google Drive had an immediate advantage over Dropbox with more storage for free.

I opted to buy the upgraded storage from Google Drive which would allow up to 30 GB to be syncronised between multiple computers, meaning most of the important documents I needed could be shared within the 30 GB limit.

5 GB was slightly restrictive, but not nearly as restrictive as Dropbox and their 2 GB limit for free users.

Needlesss to say, the 30 GB Google Drive plan has been a god send.

A folder on each computer called "Google Drive" means you can just drop a file into the folder and it will instantly sync with your cloud storage and all of your other devices with the Google drive software installed.

I must admit, when i first heard of Cloud computing I wasnt sure as to how it would reach the mainstream, but through services like Dropbox and Google Drive, I now see the bigger picture and how this is just the start of a whole new era in computer and internet applications.
