Google Drive is a cloud storage service. The process of cloud storage involves downloading your information to the company's remote servers, sometimes known as the "cloud," which then frees up space on your local hard drive. This frees up more space on your devices enabling you to install more critical items, such games and programs that require a lot of storage space.

Google utilizes Drive for the storage of Google Photos, as well as the storage of your Gmail attachments and Google Workspace documents, which can take up a significant amount of that space.

HOW DOES GOOGLE DRIVE ACTUALLY FUNCTION?

The primary function of Google Drive is to serve as a repository for files and to synchronize those items with your local computer. You are able to upload files and make edits to those files directly through Drive's website. Additionally, if you install its desktop client, you may utilize the Drive folder on your computer to continually sync essential files to the cloud, ensuring that they are updated as you work on them. This is possible if you use the Drive folder on your computer.
