I. About Google Drive

1. What is Google Drive?

Google Drive, an online storage service by Google, evolved from Google Docs and now includes Gmail storage and Google+ photo albums. It provides 15GB of free storage to regular users, with a single file size limit of 10GB. Users can upgrade their storage up to 30TB for a fee.
Uploading files to Google Drive enables users to share them with team members, enhancing collaboration and efficiency. Drive is accessible on major platforms, ensuring smooth workflow across browsers, mobiles, tablets, and PCs. Contrary to the belief that an internet connection is always required, Google Drive files can be accessed offline by enabling the official offline access feature.
