Drag and drop a file into your desktop-based Drive folder, and it will instantly show up in your Web folder. Like Dropbox, SkyDrive and SugarSync, Drive automatically syncs files between your desktop and the cloud. Don't have either program installed on your desktop? No problem, Google Drive's preview mode allows you to open and preview those files without issue. One of the service's biggest advantages is its ability to recognize and open more than 30 file types, including HD video files of up to 10GB in size and Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop (PSD) files.

On our Windows 7 machine, our folders were viewable in Windows Explorer and could be edited and organized just like any other local folder.ĭrive provides users with 5GB of free cloud-based storage for photos, videos and documents. We personally preferred the list view, because it made finding our files easier.ĭrive's desktop folder mimics the folder style of the operating system you are using. There are two ways to arrange files: a standard list view or as a grid complete with images of each item. You can create a new file within the folder, share it, star it or simply rename it. Once you've named it, you can go ahead and start filling it with any relevant files. To create a folder through Drive's Web interface, just click the Create button and select folder. The Owner, Type and More tabs list files based on their type, who owns them and visibility, making it easy to locate specific files. Google Drive has a Recent tab, which provides you with a look at files you've recently edited or opened an Activity tab provides a view of files that have been recently edited or opened by you or anyone they've been shared with. The navigation bar on the left side of the screen has the same red Create and Upload buttons, as well as the Starred tab found in Docs. That's because Drive's UI was essentially lifted from Google Docs. If you're familiar with Google Docs, you'll feel right at home with Google Drive's Web-based interface.
