Google Drive

Google drive in the most simplest terms is just storage on the internet. It's practically a disk located in Google servers. The great thing about it is that you can access it from any computer or device (PC, laptop, tablet, phone, etc) in the world at any given time.  As an alternative to Microsoft office, people tend to choose Google Drive because it is free and it comes with 5gb of free limit. After experimenting and playing around you find that one can store documents, photos, music, videos, etc all in one place. It syncs with your mobile devices and your computer, so if you make a change from one device, it will automatically show up if you were to access it elsewhere. So if you make and edit a document and hit save, you can still look back at all your revisions from the past 30 days. And that is an advantage to using their word processor, so that you don't have to worry about your computer crashing and losing everything. Schools and businesses benefit from this, as you find that students and employees can interact with each other through Google Drive. Classmates can be working on a project and can be working on it together at the comfort of there homes. A president of a company may want to use Google Drive as a cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office, and most do. A question also arises, that is Google Drive safe and reliable? Will your documents be safe from intruders and hackers? The answer is yes. There should be no worries about your file getting infected by a virus. You also have control over making anything in you Google Drive public. In other words, things in your Google Drive are private unless you make them public. Google Drive is an excellent online storage that takes technology to a whole new level.
