About Google Drive

Google Drive is Google's cloud storage platform that provides 15 GB free (scaling to 5 TB per user) for storing, syncing, and sharing any file type — documents, images, videos, PDFs — accessible from any device. It integrates natively with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides for real-time co-editing, and connects to third-party tools like Slack, Salesforce, and Zoom; it also includes AI-powered search, ransomware detection, client-side encryption, and Google Vault for compliance. Teams use it as a central file repository, for collaborative project folders, scanning receipts as searchable PDFs, and managing Gmail attachment storage. Alternatives: OneDrive (Microsoft ecosystem equivalent with Office co-editing), Proton Drive (Swiss-based, client-side zero-knowledge encryption), pCloud (up to 10TB storage, lifetime plan available), MEGA (20GB free, end-to-end encrypted, 300M+ users).
