4

Well, almost all of us know about Google and the impeccable services provided by it, some of them are Gmail, Google+, Maps, Google Earth, Google Translate,Google Play, YouTube and most importantly , the slick and integrated but yet not completely free “Google Drive”. Google drive is a File Synchronization and Storage facility provided by Google. It helps the user in Cloud Storage i.e  Store, access and manage your huge amount of data in the virtual memory provided by various hosting companies, File Sharing and Cooperative Editing. It has 5 GB of free space and 60$/Year/100 GB thereafter. It is best for those people who can’t live without Google.

I also won’t be talking about Dropbox also here since most of the people use Dropbox after Google Drive because of its simplicity but regret later as they provide only 2 GB free cloud Storage.
