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   Files on Google Drive
            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.
