“Google Docs” and "Google Drive"
 

Google Docs and Google Drive is an open source program. At first this site was called Google docs but on April 24, 2012 they released a new version of it and are now calling it Google Drive. Google Drive is used by many people and it has many different features. The basic concept of it is to be able to save work you did on one computer but to be able to log onto another computer and have what you were working on right there. It is very useful.

           Google drive in very convenient for people who work or go to school. This is so because you can be at work or school and working on a project you need to have done for the next day and then go home at work on it at your personal computer.Students in school find google docs very helpfun becaue alot of times people dont get work done at school and if they didnt bring their flash drive into school that day they would be able to work on it at home.  


There is this really cool feature that allows you to share your project with other people. Let’s say you have a group project for school or a team presentation at work. You would all be able to have the exact same slideshow or document. You can also work on it at the same time and you don’t even need to be near them. All the edits someone else you shared the project with makes will appear right on our screen as they are making them.

Google Drive is basically an internet flash drive. It’s free and it is one less thing for you to carry with you. I would definitely recommend checking out Google Drive because it can be very helpful. The only bad thing is that you are leaving your project floating in internet space and at any given moment something could go wrong and delete whatever you were working on. If you are going to be doing things on Google drive then always double save it, just to be safe. 


Google Drive is not used for Social, Entertainment, News, and or Recreational related things. But this should not stop you from getting a Google Drive account because it is very useful for other things too.
