Google Drive

Google Drive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It enables users to store files online, share them, and access them from any device connected to the internet. Launched in 2012, it serves as a central hub for Google Workspace, integrating with applications such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Slides.
