Google Drive is a cloud service that stores, syncs and shares files across devices and team spaces.
Google Drive holds files in the cloud and syncs them with Windows and macOS computers through Drive for desktop. Files open and edit in place, including Microsoft Office files and PDFs, and AI features answer questions drawn from content across Drive, Gmail, Calendar and Chat.
Shared drives give a team a common space for its files, and access is set through view, comment and edit permissions with expiry dates. The service also scans documents into searchable PDFs, requests e-signatures, detects ransomware and connects to third-party applications.
