GOOGLE DRIVE/GOOGLE DOCS
Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service created by Google. It allows users to store files in the cloud, share files, and edit documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with collaborators. Google Drive encompasses Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, in addition to an office suite that permits collaborative editing of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, forms, and more.
Google gives every user 15 GB of online storage space, which is shared across three of its most used services: Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photos. Users can upgrade their free 15 GB account through a paid monthly subscription plan to get more storage. Documents using Google Docs native formats (including .gdoc, .gslides, and .gsheet) do not count towards this limit. In Google+ Photos, photos of dimensions less than 2048 x 2048 pixels and videos shorter than 15 minutes also do not count towards this limit.
Google Drive was launched on April 24, 2012 and had 240 million monthly active users as of October 2014.
