Google Drive has arrived!

I opened Google Play a few minutes ago to find this:

Google Docs updates to become Google Drive. I haven't even opened it yet, just wanted to let everyone know it was released!


Google Drive download from Play

Drive.google.com is live as well. I just signed up and downloaded the installer. 5GB is free. I'm probably gonna stick with Dropbox though, but I'll try it.

Edit: It looks like it's got everything in my Google Docs account.

Yep, It's a name change as much as anything. Android app looks slick even if it doesn't do much - can't create folders on the phone only online.

Yeah, given how Dropbox has been giving space away lately, I think lots of people saw this coming. For me, I'll stick with Dropbox as I have more space there, and can put anything into it.

$4 isn't bad for 20gb though.

I read that prices have gone up. You had to get the 20gb for $5/yr prior to yesterday to get that price (I did it a couple years ago).

It told me my Google drive wasn't ready yet.

It told me my Google drive wasn't ready yet.

I updated today and then used my chromebook to transfer all of my files from box and dropbox. Don't know why it wouldn't be available for some

 

[Seanette]

I'm stumped too.

 

[A.Nonymous]

While it's nice to have my Google docs documents on my desktop, I don't know that I'll use this service more than Dropbox.

 

[Seanette]

I suspect I'll use Google primarily for backups and Dropbox for sharing. And yeah, once Google gets mine available, I'll very likely pay for more space, since they have good prices.
