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

  • Congratulations tutorial, very good.
    I have one question. I unknowingly installed an app in Google Drive, Sliderocket, now I want to uninstall. Is the default application to view PDFs and not at all excited about it or even how I could choose by default the application from Google. Thank you!

  • I wrote a question before, I see it was not posted. Finally I wondered about uninstalling an application. In settings> "Manage applications".
    Congratulations for this great tutorial!

  • Very interesting google drive especially the collaboration and applications, but I had a problem when I entered drive.google.com instead of login I had the notify me button and after pressing it I was asked to confirm that my email is gmail and then in the upper right I have the message "We'll email you at *e*m*a*i*l*@gmail.com when your Google Drive is ready. Learn more". Why do I get this message because it looks like google drive is working? Has anyone else suffered from this or do you know why it occurs?

    Read the above tutorial. In the text you have a link to our article on the blog. You are clearly in two directions, the answer is right under your eyes but you like ignorance!
    Read the text above and tutorials entirely made comments before posting a comment
