Google Drive

After many year of waiting we got yesterday the google drive (based on google docs), It will collobrate docs and gmail and google+ with smartphone.

It seems to me that it's an upgrade to google docs and not a "new" service.

The new upgrade will enable us to download client and sync all documents via internet via the local device (computer, smartphone)

In Google Drive, you can create new documents, spreadsheets and presentations instantly. Work together at the same time, on the same doc, and see changes as they appear.

Gmail
Say goodbye to bulky email attachments. Send a link from Google Drive in Gmail and everyone has the same file, same version—automatically.
