Google Drive Review:Your new Cloud Office Suite

Google's entire business is based on offering the best cloud services around, so the fact that the company didn't offer a true cloud-based storage service up until now is downright odd. Certainly, you could store files in Google docs or Gmail, but without a proper desktop component to sync with them, neither was especially efficient. But with the introduction of Google Drive, the search giant has managed to give its users a place to keep their files and more, turning Drive into one of the top cloud-based storage solutions virtually overnight. 
The concept of G-Mail Drive launched years ago has been modified for better to produce the so called Best cloud storage drive "Google Drive". Read on to see why we'll be using Google Drive for the foreseeable future.

Some Quick Specs for Google Drive

• 5GB free online storage (plus 10GB of Gmail storage and 1GB of Picasa storage, also free)
• Web access and a desktop app (PC and Mac) for drag and drop syncing
• Android mobile app with an IOS version on the way
• Upgrades available
• 25GB Drive and Picasa storage and a Gmail bump to 25GB for $2.49/month
• 100GB Drive and Picasa storage and a Gmail bump to 25GB for $4.99/month
• Additional plans up to 16TB (yes, Terabytes.  Wow.)

 So that’s not bad.  More free storage than Dropbox.  Less than Microsoft Skydrive.  WAYYYY less than Box was offering.  Still, 5GB for free is a decent offering for a cloud storage service.  The question is what Google Drive offers to differentiate itself from the competing options out there.
