About
Google Drive is a cloud based storage system. Cloud based means that the information uploaded or created with Google Drive remains on Google's servers. This is an additional protection against data loss if your hard drive fails, or your files become inaccessible. Google Drive is available to all users that have a Google login. Google Drive lets you create documents (text document, spreadsheet, slideshow) and store them online accessible with your Google credentials. Documents created in Google Drive are able to be shared and edited with people you grant access. You can also upload documents to Google Drive and access them from location you have a connection to the Internet.
If you are a ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ user, you have a Google Drive account associated with ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅. If you are also a Gmail user, you have at least two Google Drive Accounts (one for each gmail account, and one ΒιΆΉΚΣΖ΅ account). These two accounts are separate, however you are able to share the documents between the accounts.
