How it works
Drive works hand in hand with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, so you can create and collaborate on documents without downloading anything. Real-time editing, comments, and version history make it easy for teams and classes to work on the same file at once, and powerful search finds files by name, content, or even text inside images.
Every Google account gets 15 GB free, shared across Drive, Gmail, and Photos. Paid Google One plans start at $1.99 a month for 100 GB. Drive is the natural choice if you already live in Google's ecosystem and want simple, reliable cloud storage.
