Are you looking for a way to store your important documents and files and have theme where ever you are? If so, you have options. You can use cloud storage services such as dropbox but they have very limited storage options. Some of them offer premium storage options and that can cost a lot of money and you do not get that much space. There are also free options, but I really wouldn’t trust them unless the company offering these services was backed by a reliable company. Image Source: Google Drive.

Final Thoughts
I have always been a fan of Google and their products. With most of their products, they spend a lot of time and research on their products. As for Google Drive, it looks like a good service and I have plans of using the service once my dropbox account fills up or that I have a need to collaborate with friends on a project.
