Integrations
One of Google Drive’s features that helps streamline information and communication is its ability to integrate with many other applications. These integrations include Hubspot, PicMonkey, Discord, Dropbox and more. Connecting and synching your various accounts to your drive can help you work more efficiently and have access to all of your data in one spot. Integrating your accounts can also help save time when working on multiple platforms.
Collaboration Tools
Google Drive makes file sharing easy. Users can choose to share documents with specific individuals or large teams. Privacy settings can also be adjusted on shared files. You can also comment and edit shared documents through the app and view these files without needing to download them to your local hard drive.
Accessibility
Google Drive is an application that can be used and downloaded on all computers including Mac OS and Windows systems, iPhone’s, as well as tablets. Being able to access your drive on all devices means you can view and work on files wherever you are. Having everything stored in one place is both efficient and time-saving.
Free
One of the most appealing features of the cloud sharing app is that it’s free. The application provides users with 15 GB of data storage for free, but if users go over that amount they do need to pay for extra space. 15 GB of data is a large amount of storage for most individuals, especially if they mainly work with word documents and spread sheets.
Offline Use
Although Google Drive is an application that is mainly accessed using the internet, you can still access your files offline using the downloadable application. Although certain features can’t be accessed like sharing and commenting, users can still view all of their files.
