This is a really productive way to cooperate with others. Besides, as Google Docs has been integrated into Google Drive, you can not only create, edit and share documents, but also comment, discuss and edit with your partners in real-time. Google Drive keeps the revisions of files for either up to 100 revisions or till 30 days, while the storage space occupied is only the size of the latest file. Google Drive is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google.
Monday's update addresses this major shortcoming, making Cloud Drive a more viable replacement for these services.įor more, see PCMag's full review of Amazon Cloud Drive. In PCMag's review, Cloud Drive earned just three out of five stars, partially for its lack of file synching capabilities that are present in competing services like Windows Live SkyDrive and Google Docs. The Amazon Cloud Drive app for Windows and Mac was first released last May.
The Cloud Drive desktop app supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8, and Mac OS 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. Extra storage is priced at a dollar per gigabyte per year, up to 1000GB. "The updated app makes it simple for users to put files in Cloud Drive and to access them from any of their computers, ensuring that they always have access to the latest version of their files from home and on the road," Amazon said in a statement.Īmazon Cloud Drive users get 5GB of storage for free.
When you install the Cloud Drive app on a second computer, all of your synched files will be synched and available there, too. Files dropped in this folder are automatically store in Cloud Drive and can be accessed from a computer or the Web.
The new feature, dubbed File Sync, lets you store and access your documents, photos, music, and other files in the Amazon Cloud from a special folder on your computer.
