Users can access a file management system via the website. Google Drive is fully operable through a web interface. You can also easily share data with others by assigning them different roles like who is allowed to view, comment on or edit the content.

Anything you create in one of these applications is automatically saved to Google Drive. Using Google’s Office applications makes it easy to collaborate with other users on documents, presentations and spreadsheets. In addition, Google Drive has been integrated with Gmail (Google’s email service) making it even easier to manage and send files over the internet. Although it was initially limited to documents, the service has since evolved into a flexible cloud storage service which can handle any type of file. Google Docs and all the other Office applications still exist and are an integral part of Google Drive. However, it was only for text documents and spreadsheets back then rather than an independent cloud storage.

Google’s storage service has been around since 2006.
