What are your guys opinion on Google Drive? I've started using it today and it looks pretty simple but awesome at the same time.

I'm currently using it to share work files between my home computer, my field laptop, and my work computer.

It basically installs a program on your computer that will sync a specific folder to your google account (or on the cloud) that you can share between computers. Should be pretty cool for like...important pictures and junk like that.

The only thing I'd store is gameserver files, but other than that, I don't really trust google.


Sounds like a neat program though.

I tried out Google Drive after using Dropbox for a year or so, and I don't think it's that good compared to Dropbox. I will still use it, but for the most part, my backups go on Dropbox.

For me, I find it to be the best cloud storage for documents, mainly because it has inbuilt text/spreadsheet/presentation editors, and I use it for storing photos, school work and random other things and it works great.. In my opinion, after having used Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, Box.net and Cubby, I overall prefer Google Drive simply because of the ease of access, built in editors / photoviewers etc, and of course the integration with the rest of my Google Accounts, and linking across accounts. But still, like any other cloud storage, I wouldn't stick files containing passwords, or other sensitive information on the drive.
