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 the 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.

                 How does it work?

                 On the top right side of the window, you will see a dotted square called Google apps         . This is
                 also known as the Google apps hub. Now, perform the following steps to use the Google Drive:



                                                                                                1  Login to your Gmail
                                                                                               account and click on
                                                                                               Google apps icon.

                 The home page of a Google Drive appears on the screen. The Navigation pane has the following
                 options:

                   New: It helps to view, manage and upload files or folders from your computer and mobile
                   device to Google Drive.
                   Home: It navigates you to the home page of the Google Drive.

                   My Drive: It helps to view and manage files stored on your Google Drive.
                   Shared with me: It helps to view and manage files and folders that have been shared with you
                   by others.
