Google Drive

The book I read to research this post was An Essential Guide To Google Drive by Murat Yilmaz which is a very good book which I downloaded for free from kindle. One quibble I do have is this book is rather but is very interesting nonetheless. Google Drive is a cloud computing service where you get 5 GB of free storage and pay for anything above that. It integrates with Google Docs which is similar to Microsoft Office and even lets you save in MS Office compatible files. It also contains a form builder by default and there are various other free apps like a map builder and floor plan designer. There is no save button in Google Docs as it saves every step immediately. In Google Drive itself there is various buttons pertaining to things like new folder etc. Going down the screen are opens for displaying files like recent for recently opened etc. You can save any kind of file in there and there are free apps that let you edit many of files like Pixlr which edits photos. I think Google Docs which is particularly suited for home use provides serious competition to Microsoft Office which charges a small monthly fee and OpenOffice which is also free. I did read somewhere else Google brings out several products every month and are one of the biggest technology firms in the world. Google Search is the most visited website in the world. A lot of their wealth though comes from Adsense & Adwords. I really enjoyed this book & I think it is a must have especially when it's free.
