Google Drive

Google Drive is Google’s cloud storage app, part of Google Workspace, that lets you store, access, and share files securely from your phone, tablet, or computer. Every Google account comes with free storage, and the app makes it easy to back up photos, videos, documents, and anything else you want to keep safe.

Files you save in Drive are available everywhere — start a document on your laptop and pick it up on your phone. The built-in search can find files by name, content, or even text inside images, and you can preview hundreds of file types without installing extra apps. Drive also works offline: mark files to keep a copy on your device for access without an internet connection.

Sharing is simple and safe. You can share files or entire folders with a link, control whether people can view, comment, or edit, and see changes in real time when collaborating on Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides. Businesses and teams can use shared drives and admin controls through Google Workspace plans.

Google Drive is free to download, with paid Google One plans available if you need more storage. Files are protected by Google’s security infrastructure, and the app supports Android, iOS, and the web.
