Google Drive, the best online storage, synchronization service and more - video tutorial

Hi friends, in today's tutorial we'll talk about Google Drive. Google storage service files and documents of any type. Yesterday Google Google Disk Drive or as it is called for those in Romania, began to be available to those who use a Google account. It seems that some people still have no access to Google Drive account while others already have access. This is because the service is just beginning and will soon be available for everyone. If you do not have access to Google Drive, I invite you to read the article posted yesterday on our blog to see you have to do to get access to Google Drive
Perhaps many will be tempted to believe that Google Drive is a simple storage service and synchronizing files that SugarSync, Wuala, SkyDrive, dropbox, ADrive, Amazon Cloud
It is not so! Let's look a little beyond the fact that they are all sync and storage service files and see what other thing can make these services.
Google Drive offers 5 GB online storage space (in cloud) any Google user. Besides storage also offers the ability to synchronize existing files in the account, with all our devices such as tablet, Android phone, laptop and so on.
That means we have access to documents and important files on any device for us, we will be able to access, edit, delete, share-ui with friends. Have to the news that Google Drive offers a desktop client for Windows operating systems (XP, Vista or 7), Mac OS X, Android. Google Drive desktop client installed on the PC does is to allow synchronization of files with Google Drive storage space and other devices that want the files exist. For example, if we have two laptops and both Google Drive installed client, when we want a document or file located on the first laptop to exist and the second will be enough to put the file or document in Google Drive folder on the first laptop, and it will be available immediately on the second laptop on the condition that both laptops have an internet connection and both desktop client Google Drive to be connected to the same Google account.
If you do not want desktop client installation, we can manually download the file on other devices accessing the web interface of Google Drive.
What can we do in Google Drive accessing the web interface for this service?
- we can upload folders or files of any type and we can download them, we can create folders or we can delete or rename them
- we can create office documents, presentations, word documents, spreadsheets, forms, drawings, tables
- we can collaborate to create a document. This means that when we write a document, we can invite a friend (or several) to participate in its request. Both will be able to edit the document at the same time being visible in real time for both what each does and what each writes in that document. If I'm at home and Cristi at the office, we can create a document together, in real time without being next to each other, from our own comfort
- we can share files, existing folders in the account, with friends. Photos and videos in Google Drive can be shared on Google Plus.
- we can open / view the contents of XLS, SVG, DOCX, PSD, AI files even if we do not have the software on the computer that allows viewing these files
- we can provide by email the link to a movie we uploaded to Google Drive
- we can install applications from the Chrome Web Store to use in Google Drive. If we want to do more complex tasks with existing files in Google Drive, we install applications and we can work with files in the cloud without using computer software. Basically we have at our fingertips a whole extremely flexible platform that allows advanced work with files without us having a high processing power on the computer from which we will do this. Everything happens in the cloud, online.
- we can decide if and who can see our files, who can edit them, who can download them
- we can go back in time (30 days ago) for edited documents so we can see the document in all its stages of editing, basically Google Drive can save multiple versions of the same document. We also have the possibility to decide which version of the document to be final.
- we can restore deleted files and documents. When we delete a file, folder or document, they are moved to the "Trash". From there, we can permanently delete or restore them.
What impressed me a lot about this service is the very advanced search. Imagine you have thousands of photos in your account. Finding a photo would be an ordeal. Well, simply type in the search box in Google Drive the name of the object, place or subject that contains the photo you want and Google Drive will find it. For example, we remember that we have a picture in which we photographed a tiger, we write in the search box the word "tiger", we press enter and voila! It will be found immediately even if the word tiger is not in its name.
Still another example for PDF documents, DOCX etc. It is necessary to remember only a word we know that it contains the document you are looking for us, we write in the search box and bummm, Google Drive will display all documents that contain the word we specify them in the search box even if the name is not in word documents sought by us.
how is that possible Google Drive uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology. Basically, when looking for a photo or a document, Google Drive not only looks at the name of the files but also in the content of these files, thus offering a relevant result.
What we would have liked to see in Google Drive?
- even if you install the Google Drive desktop client, it will not integrate with the context menu in the operating system. I would have really liked when I right-click on a file, wherever we are in Windows Explorer, to see the "send to Google Drive" option.
- also related to the integration in the context menu, I would have liked to see on the right click on a file from the Google Drive folder on the PC, the option "Get public link" or "Get public link"
- right click on the Google Drive indicator in System Tray I would have liked to see the file upload speed.
- in the web interface of the service, I would have liked the possibility to play audio files, without the need to install a chrome Web Store application for Google Drive. Videos can be played but not audio files.
- the process of obtaining a public link for sharing a file to a friend so that he can download it with or without a Google account (.rar, .mp3, .iso, .exe) seems very confusing and cumbersome for non-technical users
- I would have liked the Google Drive desktop client to be able to set a limit for the speed of uploading and downloading files, as is the case with the Dropbox desktop client.
- I tested the file upload speed a bit and it seems that Dropbox syncs / uploads files faster.
From my point of view Google Drive is an incredible service, more than a simple file storage space is a very flexible platform that certainly will gain new capabilities in near future. For me, Google Drive is a storage service and synchronizing files but a SUITE CLOUD. It will soon become a place where you can do anything with your files and documents using only a browser without software installed on your computer that you know how to work with existing files in account
It's incredible technology that arrived today and congratulations on this occasion Google Romania team for the contribution of the service and devoted work. Google Drive is revolutionary, the most comprehensive and flexible online service ever launched by a company

    Andu:

    You have because everyone will have… you don't have to do anything special. If you want faster access, you invite yourself according to those mentioned in the blog article.
    If not, you can wait because Google will give access to everyone anyway but not to everyone at the same time…. What's so hard to understand?

  18. The problem with these online storage services is that if you have a good internet connection takes forever to climb large files. I google pictures 1GB drive for sat 6 hours and the film loading ADrive as you download from the net. The conclusion is that for small files are great for large ones must arm yourself with patience.

  19. One thing I do not understand: why would any Android install a program / app like Google Drive or Dropbox?

    This does not mean that everything I have in Dropbox or Google Drive download it once and I choke in smartphone memory when the first synchronization trigger?

    Please also addressed this issue.

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Fortunately synchronization on mobile devices takes place as a PC / laptop because those who offer such cloud services that take into account a mobile device (smartphone or tablet) has limited storage capacity
      When you enable sync, you just load the device in the cloud, not vice versa. What's on your device will automatically upload to the cloud (but you can disable this function and you can manually select what to climb the cloud and when) and what you already have in cloud can be downloaded only on demand when you want to watch or photograph Documents in the cloud but not on the device.
      I hope I have cleared.

  20. a program that creates a partition you can use just like a stick and you can ask and someone knows your password.

  21. how can i use google drive in business? kind of obvious that own business…. please !!!!

    Hello, I have an Asus T100T tablet which, as you know, has an 80GB SSD and in the keyboard it also has a 500Gb HDD. He wanted me to install a standard image for the place where I work and, not being careful, he tried to install it on the HDD on the keyboard creating here 2 data partitions and 2 other recovery partitions (there were 2 attempts) Later I reinstalled the Windows 8.1 OS on the tablet but I stayed on the HDD on the keyboard with a needle I can't "escape" Please, if you have time to guide me you can format the HDD needle. Thanks a good day.

    • Why do not you try to use categories and subcategories bar or search engine on this site are over 1000 tutorials and think over 100 about storage, hard drive, SSD, memory cards, cloud storage and other wonders.
      Here's category Storage
      Here's a interrogation the search engine of the site (time partitioning).
      That was an exception and you have to understand that we can't look for you instead, because we also look because there are so many tutorials that.

  23. Hello, please tell me after I upload a file to Google Drive, a movie, etc. and I want to erase the laptop meaning (ie the timing,,,) and Google delete my drive as I do? I keep meaning to watch it only to drive straight there after you've climbed it I have not the laptop?

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Upload it using Google Drive Google Drive browser software not installed on your PC. Drive.google.com access, login with the same data with which you logged in Google Drive application installed on your PC and upload the video in your browser.

    Hi! 3 days ago I moved 1500 pictures to the drive on Android… the problem is that today I wanted to look at the pictures and I can't find them, they don't even exist in the phone's memory, that is in the gallery but they are not… and on google drive there only one picture in pdf format. What can I do now, where can I find my pictures? There im a phone system a return from the last move or not something to know what happened to the pictures. Or can there be a trash can where stored data is stored until emptied? I draw my last hope because they were fff important pictures for me… with my baby, all the memories with him.

    In Ubuntu, how do files and folders go from Google Drive to a memory stick?

    • Adrian Gudus said

      Download them locally and then copy them on the stick. Or when you download them (assuming you use the Firefox browser for that), when they ask where you want to save what you download, choose the USB stick and download directly to the stick.

  30. Can you create a form on googledocs to allow uploading files?
