Most of the cloud storage services Those that we can draw on today are in full growth. Here we are not only referring to the market penetration they have, but the functions they propose to us or the space available for our use. Many companies offer us their own platforms of this type, where the search giant Google with Drive, was not going to be less.
Also serve as a clear example of all this Microsoft that proposes its alternative called OneDrive so that we can use it on our Windows computers. In fact, this remote storage space proposed by the software giant can be very helpful when it comes to making backups in the operating system. But the benefits of this type of cloud storage platform go much further. Along these same lines we want to focus on another of the best known proposals and with a greater number of users, we are talking about Google Drive.
Anyone who has a active Google accountIn addition to the many applications and services that this firm offers us, they will have a space on their servers. As usual, this is used to store folders and personal files and thus free up local space. As you can imagine, this allows us to save something as valuable as the space on our disk drives to use it for other purposes. At the time of save music, photos, videos or any document, the cloud will be of great help to us. More if we take into consideration that at the user level we can enjoy this space for free.
