APPS OF GOOGLE


            Google provides several apps free of cost for your computer as well as mobile. Some of them are Gmail,
            Maps, Google Drive, Google Web Store, YouTube and Google Meet. To use the apps, you must have
            registered with the Google. Let’s learn about some of the popular Google apps.

            Gmail

            Google mail or Gmail is one of the best and free mailing apps accessible through a web
            browser over the Internet. You are already familiar with the process of creating a Gmail
            account. Your Gmail account is used to access other apps of Google.

            Google Drive

            Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service. The synchronisation feature allows you to
            download and upload files into 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.  There are no file type restrictions. So, the files can be
            in any format such as Word document, Excel workbook, PowerPoint presentation and PDF. All the data in
            Google Drive is encrypted, you have to grant permission to others to access, edit, or view your files.

            You can access your Google Drive files or documents from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. In
            simple terms, Google Drive provides you a cloud storage space on Google servers that allows you to store
            your media files and documents and access them with any device with an active Internet connection.

             Encryption is the process of encoding a message or file so that it can only be accessed by authorized
             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  through  Gmail directly  to the  Google  Drive. You  do  not  have to move
            them manually. Google drive also has the option to see the preview of the
            attachment files without downloading them in browser itself. You can easily
            preview Microsoft documents, Adobe files, image files, audio files and video
            files before downloading.
            How much can you store in Google Drive?

            Google gives you 15 GB of free cloud storage just when you sign up for the first time. You can upgrade it
            to more space if needed by paying some amount. This free space is shared between your mails, photos,
            data on your drive, etc. on all your Google apps. You should never sync your hard disk data to Google
            drive. That way you are unnecessarily keeping two copies of all your files and using precious space. You
            should make sure that your Inbox and Google Drive are not cluttered with unnecessary files. You will
            soon run out of the cloud space that you have free of cost.
