Google Drive offers tools to create, edit, and collaborate on documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other files from any device with an internet connection. Files are synced to the cloud and accessible from any computer, ensuring the most up to date versions. The mobile app allows access and editing of files on tablets and smartphones. Google Drive can preview most file types even without the required native application installed. Web apps integrated with Google Drive allow files created in those apps to be saved and edited directly from the Google Drive interface.
