Google Drive
FreeGoogle's cloud storage service for storing, syncing and sharing files across computers and phones.
About Google Drive
Google Drive stores files in the cloud so you can open them from any device. The desktop app for Windows and Mac syncs selected folders with your computer, and the Android and iOS apps give access to files, scanning and sharing on phones and tablets.
Files can be shared with links or specific people, with view, comment or edit permissions. Drive is tightly connected to Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, so shared documents can be edited together in real time. It also offers search across files and offline access to files you choose.
An account is required, and every Google account includes a free amount of storage shared across Drive, Gmail and Photos. More space is available through a paid subscription via in-app purchase; we do not quote prices here. It suits anyone who already uses Google services or needs simple file sharing. People who want end-to-end encrypted storage should look elsewhere, since Drive is built around convenience and collaboration.
Check your storage total across Gmail and Photos too, since they share the same allowance.
