                      Unable to type! You can use the microphone icon      to speak the search words. You do not have
                     to worry about the spelling mistakes.

                  email services available on the internet. You are already familiar with the process of

                       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.

                      Encryption is the process of encoding a message or file so that it can only be accessed by
