How does Google drive work?

Google Drive or Google disk give you the opportunity to use the disk space that Google’s servers have. This allows us to store documents that are not physically saved in the computer’s memory. At the start, we get up to 15 GB for free, which we can freely use for photos, videos, text files, projects. We always have access to them when we have access to the Internet. We don’t have to carry a flash drive or laptop everywhere.

Cloud disks

How Google Drive works is a classic example of the so-called clouds. Data is sent via Google+ or Google mail, i.e. Gmail. Uploaded files are not deleted until we do it ourselves. We can share them with many people without fees. In addition, Google Drive not only allows you to quickly exchange large documents, but also to edit files by several people at the same time.

Some people wonder how to share a Google drive, but this is not a difficult task. First, go to www.drive.google.com and log in with the same e-mail address and password as your Gmail (or other Google service, e.g. blogger). We download the Google Drive application onto the computer and install it in the place of our choice. Then we log in and receive feedback from Google: “Thank you for installing Google Drive.” Click “Close” and move on. After installing we can see the Google drive icon on our desktop. By clicking the icon, we can look into our folders: Private and Shared. If we add any folder, it also automatically appears in the cloud.
