Cloud Storage: Pick The Best Option: Page 2 of 5

Now let's have a closer look at each of these options.

Google Drive is a close-to-perfect solution for digital data storage users. It was launched in April 2012 and is available today on almost every recognized platform. It allows users to work with files from anywhere, as long as they have an Internet connection. Google Drive supports more than 30 file types on the browser, including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and high-definition videos. It is the only cloud service that offers an "Edit Office documents online" feature.

Users can get started with Google Drive with 5 GB of free space for storing files and sharing them. They can also create and edit documents, presentations, and spreadsheets in collaboration with others through any device, with the ability to track changes instantly. When requirements exceed free volume, users can switch to a paid package that starts at $2.49 per month for 25 GB.
