Yes, there are so many things you couldn’t do with the app - like editing online documents locally - but, this is just the first version and there is a very good chance Google will make this feature available. I admire Dropbox and I use it in all my devices, but Google Drive is a totally different ball game. Then, of course, that's not what it's meant to be (though it does most of the things Dropbox is good at). One major reason is that it largely doesn’t work like Dropbox. But, I understand that not many people are not as thrilled about Google Drive. It’s awesome and for a free service, there are so many things going in favor of it. It is an open secret that I’m a big fan of Google Docs and now, Google Drive. By far, Google Drive has the most affordable prices for adding more room to your cloud storage space, with 25Gb of storage coming in at only $2.49/month. The menubar icon lets you keep an eye on the file storage limits and also has a link to purchase more if necessary. Files you create, edit or delete either in the web app or elsewhere are instantly synced back without any noticeable lag.
Zip archives can be extracted and any changes you make are synced back. On the brighter side, images, multimedia files, PDFs, and more can be opened in apps of your choice. From here, just click on the Download Google Drive link at the lower left corner to get started. You will have to either sign up for an account or use your existing Google id to access Google Drive on the web. Surprisingly, the official Google Drive page doesn’t carry the link to download the file. After the break, let's learn how to extract the most out of your Google Drive on a Mac. So, not only is it possible for you to store and sync any type of file, but you can also edit most of them from any Internet connected device, and have fast access to your online documents from Google Docs and other apps, as well. Google took their own sweet time to actually launch Drive, but when they finally did, it turned out not to be the dumb digital storage box everyone was expecting. Google Drive was a long time coming, with speculation that Google would make a Dropbox competitor circling the internet for years now. What started as a bare bones online word processor in the form of Writely turned into the cloud based productivity suite we know as Google Docs, which finally culminated into an all-in-one digital drive and file sync utility.
I've followed the evolution of Google Drive right from the start.
