Google Drive is a useful and
versatile cloud storage service
that makes it easy to store
fi les and access them from
any device, anywhere in the
world. If the app doesn’t
come pre-installed on your
Galaxy device, then you can
download it for free from the
Google Play Store and, once
installed, it will be added to
the means by which you can
share fi les from your device.Easy interface
By default, your Google
Drive account comes with
a staggering 15GB of free
storage space and an intuitive
interface that makes it easy to
view and manage all of the content that you upload either by list or
by grid view, which you can toggle by tapping the icon in the top-
right corner of the screen. Tapping on the three-dot icon will also
provide ways to sort and fi lter your content (Fig 1) and this, coupled
with a smart search engine means that you’ll always be able to fi nd
the fi les that you need quickly and easily.
Google Drive works seamlessly with other Google services, such
as Gmail and Google+ Photos, so you can store fi les, save email
attachments and back-up photos directly to the service. What’s
more, Drive makes working remotely from the offi ce easy thanks
to the way it is integrated into Google’s suite of offi ce apps, such as
Docs, Sheets and Slides. As such you can create new documentsStore files
