GOOGLE DRIVE
Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service. The synchronisation feature allows
you to download and upload files to the remote server. With Google Drive, multiple
users can access a single file at the same time, at different locations and from
different devices. You can safely store your files on Google Drive. All the data in
Google Drive is encrypted, which means you have to grant permission to others to
access, edit, or view your files.
You can access your files or documents from your smartphone, tablet, or computer.
PURE Encryption is the process of encoding a message or file so that it can only be accessed
FACT by authorised people. This keeps your data safe.
What can you store in Google Drive?
Google Drive can store all types of files, such as photos, videos, PDFs, Microsoft
Office files, and many more. You can also save email attachments sent to you
via Gmail directly to Google Drive. They do not have to be moved manually.
Google Drive also has the option to see the preview of the attachment files
without downloading them in the browser itself. You can easily preview Microsoft
documents, Adobe files, image files, and video files before downloading.
How much can you store in Google Drive?
Google gives you 15 GB of free cloud storage when you sign up for the first time. If needed, you
can upgrade it to more space by paying some amount. All your Google apps share this free
space. Avoid syncing your hard disk data with Google Drive to prevent unnecessary duplication
of your files and conserve valuable storage space. Ensure that both your Inbox and Google
Drive remain free of unnecessary files to prevent exhausting the complimentary cloud storage
space provided to you.
Using Google Drive
Perform the following steps to use the Google Drive:
1 Login to your Gmail
account and click on
Google apps icon.
2 Click on the Google
Drive icon.
