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.
Tech Funda
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 via Gmail directly to Google Drive. They do not have to be
moved manually.

without downloading them in the browser itself. You can easily preview Files on Google
Microsoft documents, Adobe files, image files, and video files before Drive

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.
