Geo-Redundant StorageGoogle Drive has been in the works for nearly five years and it looks as if it is finally here. Advanced reports are showing that Google Drive will offer free online backup storage and that it will connect with most Google products.
Value for Money:Their free service is extremely cost friendly. As the tiers of service and storage space are fleshed out and reported to the public, we’ll be able to tell you more. However, if you are a business looking for online backup, then you may want to wait on any expectations for Google to be affordable.
Features:Seamless integration with current Google products is one of the best features that are being offered. There may also be the ability to connect to future Google software for movies and music. The features of other Google products are very helpful. Those would include Google Maps, Docs, Google Search and Gmail. There are lots of other products that Google has developed and released for free, but lately they have been shutting down some of those projects to focus on other areas of the business. One exciting feature of Drive is the optical character recognition technology they have added. That means that customers will be able to scan images of text and the system can convert it over to digital text. It can also be used for image recognition so that every time you search for a word in your files or on the internet, images you have uploaded will be included in those search results.
Summary:Google Drive may be a top contender for online backup in the next few years. Their starting program appears to be 5GB for free and then additional levels of online backup at a premium. The max is said to be 16 TB. The cloud storage service is designed to work with the overall Google experience. That means that if you take a pic on your phone, it will store to your drive.
Product Ideology:Google creates interesting and innovative products and shares most of those for free. The service is predominantly a search engine, but they have also created useful applications that are used by millions daily.
Security:Google basically has the best security in the world. They can definitely afford it. That same world class security will be in use for Google Drive.
Storage Space:The initial 5GB are free and possibly will be ad funded. Then they are offering a 25GB and 50GB plan with monthly pricing. We will update our review as soon as we know more. Though, we have heard that 1TB will cost around $49.99 a month.
Ease Of Use:Google Drive will be as easy to use as any other Google product. It may even make using other Google services much easier.
Customer Support:Not much is known about how Google will support Google Drive. Business class online backup may have the option to purchase levels of support.
This latest G Drive is good but it needs to step up and include better after support and more mobile app compatibility. I'm still waiting...
User-friendly and good storage space when you sign up. I'm thinking about signing up for work too, but aren't sure yet because of the cost. Syncing and file collaboration really work well for me and enable me to edit and polish off reports on the go.
All in all, a nice app for desktop backup and sharing.
