Introduction
It is a service that allows us to save files online for free, as well as create new
documents, edit and share them easily. Google Drive gives us space, 15 GB in the free
version, to manage our files and support collaboration by providing very powerful tools for
editing, managing file permissions and version control. In addition, we will be able to
upload our documents in multiple formats, sync our Drive across all our devices and
publish our content online.

Google Drive
General Concept
It is a service that allows us to save files online for free, as well as create new
documents, edit and share them easily. Google Drive gives us space, 15 GB in the free
version, to manage our files and promote collaboration by providing very powerful tools for
editing, managing file permissions, and version control. In addition, we will be able to
upload our documents in multiple formats, sync our Drive across all our devices and
publish our content online. (jojoa, 2022)
Google Drive is a cloud-based storage service (an online platform that can be
accessed from any Internet-connected device). Google Drive storage offers 15 GB of free
storage per Gmail user. Also, among other benefits, it offers payment plans with more
cloud storage.
Google Drive allows you to copy files from your computer so that they are stored in
the cloud. If you want to edit these documents, you must download them to your computer.
In addition, it allows you to create documents and folders directly from the platform
through Google Docs, which has very similar functions to programs from the Microsoft
Office suite.
How Google Drive Works
Since Google Drive is one of the products created by Google, a Gmail mailbox is
required to access the storage service.
As part of its free email service, Google offers a suite of applications that include
Google Drive, including a calendar, photo viewer, translator, and conferencing application.
The user can manage his documents and data stored in the cloud from any device through
Google Drive by logging in to his mailbox where he can view the package of Google
applications.

What It Is Used For

What are all these great Google Drive tools for? I will explain what features Google
Drive has and how they will be useful to you. For casual users, teams, and businesses,
Google Drive is for:
 2

 Create, save, create and modify files (documents/photos/videos/forms)

online.
 Use Google's word processor, spreadsheets, and presentation Canva, among
other cloud-native applications.
 Share files and access them from any mobile device (iOS or Android), tablet
or computer.
 Work online with several users in real time on the same document.
 Use Apps for Work that offer corporate mail, online storage, shared agenda
synchronization, video meetings and other solutions.
 Working offline.
 Store, view, search and sort files for free.
 Automatically save all updates to a document with the ability to access the
latest version from anywhere.
 Record each modification (when, how and by whom).
 Thanks to its synchronization, Google Drive allows you to keep a copy of
your data on the Web. No matter if you change cell phone or computer, you
will always find them where you left them. Your account is personal, private
and very secure.
 Finally, Google Drive serves to protect important data or arrays with its
Google Workspace service (formerly known as G Suit) and data loss
prevention (DLP), eDiscovery and archiving with Vault and Security Centre.
(jojoa, 2022)
Characteristics
Google Drive also has several features that can make your life easier:
Easy File Access and Management
With Google Cloud File Storage, you can take your files with you wherever you go.
Google Drive allows you to access your files in the cloud from any device, be it a
computer, tablet, or mobile phone. It will also allow you to create and edit documents,
presentations, drawings, spreadsheets and forms without having to install additional
software.
 3

Protect Every File

You can save any type of file to Drive, such as photos, projects, drawings, stories,
notes, text documents, presentations, and more. The service gives you up to 15 GB of free
storage, where you can also create folders and subfolders to store your most important files.
Share Your Files
By using Google Drive, you can save time by sending files to colleagues for review
and revision and waiting for them to be returned to you. Just select a document or folder
and show it to others. And if that's not enough, you can allow other members to edit the
file, interact with them, and add comments. If you have questions or need help
implementing Google Drive through Google for Business, please contact us and we'll be
happy to help. (XTGA, 2022)
Advantages
Google Drive has many options for managing our files in the cloud. So, if you have
not started using this great service, we invite you to familiarize yourself with its main
advantages:
Create and edit: With Google Docs Drive integration, you can collaborate on
documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in real time.
Security and functionality: As long as you have Internet access, you can access your
Drive files from anywhere without worrying about their security.
Quick search: Drive offers filtering by file type, owner, activity, and size to help
you find files easily.
Surveys and Forms: Google Forms allows you to create virtual surveys where you
will receive responses that you can use to create graphs.
Lots of possibilities: if all this isn't enough for you, you still have a lot to learn.
Because with Google Drive, you can scan all your paper documents and save them as PDF
files. Additionally, you can access your files if you use the "Available offline" option in
any of them. (XTGA, 2022)
Disadvantages
1. Storage restrictions
While 15GB of free storage is a lot, it may not be enough for some users. Users may
have to pay for more storage if they need more.
 4

2. Privacy issues
Hosting files in the cloud means that the data resides on an external server, which
can be a privacy risk for some users. Users should review Google Drive's privacy policy
and take steps to protect their data.
3. Overdependence
Excessive use of Google Drive can be detrimental as users may lose access to their
files if their account is suspended or Google Drive is inactive.
4. Performance issues
Some users have reported Google Drive performance issues such as slow loading
and syncing issues. These problems can disrupt workflow and inconvenience users.
5. Hidden costs
While Google Drive offers free storage, there are some hidden costs, such as paying
for more storage or extra features. Users should be aware of these costs and take them into
account when deciding to use Google Drive. (Admin, 2023)
Working Offline
Google Drive can work without an internet connection, and this is a clear advantage
of the service, especially in cases where internet access is not possible. For example, when
you are on a plane or when you go to work somewhere without an internet connection. To
enable this option, you need to sign in to Google Drive from an internet-connected device
and a Chrome browser.
Users must have a Gmail email account to install and activate the Google Docs
offline Chrome extension. Once the user is in the Google Drive app, they have to choose
the file they want to work with offline later. The document will be saved on your device
and synced to Google Drive when your computer is back online, so any offline changes will
be updated.
Storage for Chromebook
Chromebooks are computers that run Chrome OS (instead of Windows, OS, and
Linux). The difference between Chromebooks and other personal computers is that in
addition to being able to work offline, they also offer the benefits of always being in the
cloud. Chromebooks have limited hardware or physical space. They have a free Google
Drive service with more cloud storage than Gmail users. They are fast hardware because
 5

they do not store data on an internal drive, but instead read and work with information
directly from the cloud.
how google drive Works
Since Google Drive is one of the products created by Google, you need a Gmail
mailbox to use the storage service.

As part of the free Gmail email service, Google offers the same suite of apps as
Google Drive, as well as other apps like calendars, image viewers, translators, and meeting
apps. Users can manage their documents and data stored in the cloud using Google Drive
from any device by entering their email address, where they can see a suite of Google
applications. (Editorial, 2023)
One of the biggest advantages of Google Drive is its ease of use there are more
complete paid plans, but you can explore loads of resources for free. Even the paid plans
are affordable, especially when you consider the benefits they offer. to access the Gogle
Drive resource pack, users only need a Gmail email account. In fact, this is the only
requirement for anyone to start using the benefits offered by Drive. Access can be done
both from a computer and via a mobile device, and to access your files you just need to log
in with your email address and password and that's it. (Hotmart, 2022)
Google Docs
Google Docs is a text editor that works similar to Microsoft Word, allowing users to
edit documents and perform tasks of a completely different nature. Whether it's a college
project, a contract, or writing a promotional paper, Google Docs is great for any use case.
Even the most complex documents, such as e-books, can be created in the Google Docs
document editor, because it is very easy to write, add elements, attach images, format font,
color, and any other details of the document. letter. Like Word, it works intuitively. But
Docs has advantages that no other editor has, such as cloud storage and automatic
synchronization, which, as you know, makes it unique.
This is one of the most used features by people who constantly need to create
content for their media channels, such as websites, blogs and social networks. Additionally,
document sharing and online collaboration allow multiple people to participate in the
creation process. For example, maybe one expert is responsible for creating content and
 6

another expert makes specific changes, corrections and corrections throughout the text,
making suggestions or revising the content. (Hotmart, 2022)

Conclution
Google Drive offers many benefits, including the ability to access files anywhere,
anytime, integration with other Google tools, and automatic backups of photos and videos.
However, it also has some disadvantages such as storage limitations, privacy issues,
excessive reliability, performance issues, and hidden costs. Ultimately, if you're looking for
a cloud storage platform, Google Drive is a great choice, but it's important to weigh its pros
and cons before making a decision. (Admin, 2023)
