Google Drive allows users to store and share files; to edit documents (using Google Docs), spreadsheets (using Google Sheets), and presentations (using Google Slides) with collaborators and each account comes with 15 GB of free storage (Google Photos and Gmail included).

We have covered desktop client apps that you can use in the meantime, but because you might have missed a couple of them we have decided to compile the top 5 into a list for you to review. Today, therefore, we bring you the
