hello everyone at I'm in front pocket now when you know it's weird to see Google be late to compete against the world and just about every service that's ever been launched and has nothing to do with search so far Google Drive took five years ever since rumors began to roll out of the garage and you'd wonder what took them so long so let's compare it against Dropbox which is pretty much the only service that compares and ease-of-use and popularity and let's see if it was worth it to wait for Google Drive Google Drive is like the next version of Google Docs so call it a revamp of what you already knew but the enhancements don't end there see this service is what I'd like to call a better way to Dropbox when compared side-by-side drive offers three more gigabytes of storage for free it allows you to expand that storage at a cheaper price for just thirty dollars a year for twenty five gigabytes has a maximum file upload size of up to ten gigabytes where Dropbox has a three hundred megabyte file limit for mobile devices and is integrated with gmail picasa google docs to allow collaboration there are also developer api is available to allow any application to be fit with access to google drive whereas dropbox pretty much pioneer that service the only place where Dropbox excels when compared to Google Drive is that its support with the decaying blackberry operating system where drive only supports Android and iOS is coming soon probably the biggest reason why Drive can only be compared with Dropbox as opposed to other competing services like box.net Raven iCloud is that it's easy to use desktop client after you download it from dr google com the installation process is very similar to what you already do in dropbox and it's almost identical between the mac and the pc will use a Mac for the purpose of this video simply download the client install on your computer log on with your credentials and drive will create an easy to access folder in your finder or file explorer one thing I commonly do is create a shortcut in my desktop for easy sinking but that depends on you where dr stands out is that if you already had google docs in the past you'll notice that all the documents you created will appear in your finder or file explorer like in dropbox you also get an indicator that states of the document is either sinking or already st. if we compare the sink speeds between Dropbox and drive I'd say both services are extremely hard to tell apart since both of them are really good the only downside to the service from google docs is that these are just wept shortcuts available on your finder and won't work offline with any desktop client like Word or Excel you'll have to be online and view them on your browser to be able to edit them on android drive is being distributed as an update to the Google Docs application it has the advantage of being more than just the browser clients so the files that are shared with you are always available even if you don't decide to drag them to your Google Drive the service also allows for you to upload photos directly from the gallery but it's kind of pointless if this recent update also provides one gigabyte of free storage in Picasa and Google Plus also upload your photos automatically even though people rarely use Google+ gmail also got above to 10 gigabytes of free storage so collaboration just couldn't be better another reason why Drive excels is with its OCR and image search capabilities though this implementation on the desktop client is yet to be seen overall Google Drive is proven to be a very good cloud storage contender offering more Drive spaces not enough if there's not enough ease-of-use involved and drive is as easy as it gets if your current Dropbox use your the owns an android phone and probably an iPad it's best for you to stick to it for now but I'd recommend that you switch to Google Drive once they roll out the support for other platforms that's it for today's comparison thank you very much for watching I'm hime every letter from Parker now calm and don't forget to give us a thumbs up if you liked what you saw that's it for now it's kind of weird to see you already said it's kind of weird to see come on so let's compete it against a little bit of Val da all right ironically Google Drive earth all right I don't forget to give us a thumbs up if you like what you smug but this is like the king's speech
