APPS OF GOOGLE


                 Google offers a wide range of applications and services that are available for free to users on both
                 computers and mobile devices. Some of the apps are Gmail, Maps, Drive, YouTube, Meet, etc. To use
                 the apps, you must have signed in to Google with your Google id. Let’s learn about some of the popular
                 Google apps.

                 Gmail

                 Gmail, also known as Google Mail, is one of the most widely used and highly regarded
                 email services available on  the  internet. You  are already familiar with  the  process of
                 creating a Gmail account. Your Gmail account is used to access other apps of Google.

                 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 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, and video files before
                 downloading.

                 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. You can upgrade it
                 to more space if needed by paying some amount. This free space is shared between all your Google
                 apps. 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.
