Re: Google Drive.
Now if only they could do the same with the website… I would love to be able to create PowerPoints online as I do not have the keynote application. And the same would be nice for Microsoft Word document and spreadsheets, as pages is good, but seems like a lot to learn.

Download the Google Drive installer for Mac. It downloads as a DMG file. 4. Open the DMG and copy the Google Drives.app item to your Applications folder. 5.

The second dialog will allow you to modify sync settings and to kick off the initial sync process. 9. You'll be prompted to enter the login credentials for your Mac.

Re: google drive
Hmm, Well, I like what I'm seeing so far for what it's worth, but I'm not too keened on the fact that there doesn't appear to be a way without actually going to the web site itself, which is a pain in the kneck at best, to actually share a file or an entire directory with another Google Drive user. I see exactly how to do it in the i o s app, but not from the Windows nor the mac versions. Aside from this though, not bad for what it's worth. The other thing too I really don't totally like is the fact that the file types that the I O S version uses seemed to be a bit more limited than Dropbox. For instance, I synced a .wav file from my windows machine... now, obviously, my mac played it perfectly, but I was unable to get it to play on my IPhone. That's kind of a bummer, as there are some uncompressed files that I actually did want to stream, but I guess there went that idea. LOL! I think it's definitely! got potential, but I do think it could use a little work. Alas, thanks for giving the instructions how to get it up and going. It's greatly appreciated.

Re: google drive
How much storage do you get with Google Drive?

While the drive.google.com website has some of google's typical accessibility issues, the Google Drive App is one of Google's more accessible offerings on several platforms.

On the Mac it will add an item named Google Drive to the Finder's sidebar, and this will work like most other folders, allowing you to copy files back and forth.
