Then, the owner can control the level of visibility (public or privately shared with specific Google accounts) and transfer ownership to another user using Gmail addresses. When the end user creates a file or folder, he or she becomes its owner by default. Files that the user adds to one folder are available through a Google Drive web app or the Google Drive folder on each device. A Google Drive folder will appear along with other folders in each device's file system. Then, the user can either upload files from his or her computer or create files in Google Drive.Īlternatively, the end user can download a Google Drive application to one or more devices. "My Drive" will automatically appear, which can contain uploaded or synced files and folders, as well as Google Sheets, Slides and Docs. Then, the user types "" into his or her browser. To get started with Google Drive, the end user must create or sign in to a Google account. Google Drive competes with Microsoft OneDrive, Apple iCloud, Box, Dropbox and SugarSync. Google Drive integrates with the company's other services and systems - including Google Docs, Gmail, Android, Chrome, YouTube, Google Analytics and Google+. The service syncs stored documents, photos and more across all of the user's devices, including mobile devices, tablets and PCs. This functionality is only being opened up to Dropbox Business customers today and the company says that it does plan on general availability for later this year.Google Drive is a free cloud-based storage service that enables users to store and access files online. The only way to really know that the interface is not being accessed through Google itself will be the fact that the URL will be a Dropbox domain instead of one owned by Google. If they’re logged in with a Google account, clicking on the relevant button will open the familiar Google Docs interface. When users are in Dropbox’s web view, they can find the “create new file” button for Docs, Sheets, and Slides alongside the button for new Microsoft Office documents. The execution here isn’t all that different from the Microsoft Office + Dropbox integration that has been out there for a few years. Those who take part in this open beta program will be able to make changes to Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides natively in Dropbox. It’s now possible for Dropbox Business customers to participate in an open beta program which allows them to edit Google Docs within Dropbox itself.
The integration that was announced last summer is now switching things up a notch.
Google and Dropbox had announced over a year ago that they would work together to make their cloud storage services play nice with each other.
