Google Drive for desktop provides seamless access to your files across all your computers and mobile devices. Store your data safely in protected data centers, where your files are safeguarded from loss. Even if your computer, phone, or tablet breaks, your Google Drive files remain safe and accessible.
You can upload photos, videos, documents, and other important files to Google Drive, with up to 15 GB of free storage. Google Drive also helps you find your files faster by recognizing objects in images and text in scanned documents.
View over 30 file types directly in your browser, including HD video, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Photoshop files—even if the app is not installed on your PC.
If you are using Chrome, you can enable Drive offline to create, edit, and comment on Docs, Slides, and Drawings. You can also view Sheets without an internet connection.
Connect with others by chatting directly within Docs, Sheets, and Slides, or leave comments on files and images. Add a + before an email address in a comment, and Drive will send an email to notify them to follow up.
Google Drive (Google Backup and Sync) Benefits:
- Easily get your stuff in Drive. Drag one or hundreds of files into the Drive folder on your computer. They’ll always be available at drive.google.com, on the mobile app, and wherever you install Drive.
- Access what you want, wherever you go. Get apps for Android and iOS on your mobile phone and tablet, then get to every little thing you keep in Drive from wherever you might be.
- Create something. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are built into Drive. Whip up a grocery list, plan an event in a spreadsheet, or put together a presentation in your history class by yourself or with others.
- Safe, secure, and shareable. Regardless of device issues, your files remain securely stored in Google Drive. Everything you upload to or create in Drive belongs to you and remains private until you share it.
