Features of Google Drive

                 Google Drive has the following features:
                    Work Offline: This feature activates offline mode to upload and edit files even without Internet

                   connection.
                    Restore Previous Versions: It helps you see the changes a user has made to a document in the
                   Drive app and restore previous versions by going to File → Version history and then see version
                   history.

                    Scan  Documents with  Your Android  Phone: Google  Drive allows you  to  create  PDF  files by
                   scanning physical documents using your phone’s camera. Open Google Drive on your phone, tap
                   the ‘+’ button at the bottom right, select Scan, and capture an image of the document. The scanned
                   document is saved as a PDF, and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology can be used to
                   make the text searchable.

                    Security: It offers advanced file-sharing controls. You can generate a custom link to share files and
                   specify access levels (view, comment, or edit) for individuals or groups.
                   Accessibility: Your  documents  and files can be accessed  from any  Internet-connected  device

                   worldwide.
                   Automatic Saving: It saves the changes automatically. Every time you work on a file, the system
                   automatically saves your updates, eliminating the need for repeated file saves.


                      Google Maps

                 In earlier days, while travelling, we used to carry paper maps and a compass to help us reach our
                 destination. Due to the advancement of technology, we have digital maps. We can access these maps

                 through  a  web  browser or a  mobile  app.  Google Maps  is  a  digital  navigation  tool  that  provides
                 detailed information about the geographical regions of any particular area. Launched on February 8,
                 2005, it became available on the Play Store in December 2012.
                 To access Google Maps from your computer, perform the following

                 steps:
                 Step 1:  Click on the Google apps button.

                 Step 2:  Click on the Maps icon.
                 The default view of Google Maps is Map view.

                 However, you can change the view by clicking on the Layer icon and
                 choose the desired view option.

                 The Google Maps app offers a variety of map views, including:               Selecting Maps icon
                   Street View: It allows users to explore panoramic street-level imagery of locations.
