Google Drive is the much-anticipated service that Google has always wanted to incorporate into its ever-popular Android OS. Personal Google Drive storage is easy to use and super efficient with its personally manageable storage accounts.

First of all, you should know that Google Drive for Android is not entirely new. Truly, it’s the old Google Docs application with a few tweaks and improvements to provide ease of use for Android devices.

Google Drive allows you to use a phone, tablet, or other Android device to browse your files over the cloud. You can edit your Google Docs files directly from the app itself, download files to your phone, select individual files to synchronize, and you even have the option to make a file available offline.
