Conclusion
Though Google-Drive is a great cloud service, it has some drawbacks which make us think “Google team should work even more on this service”. The reason behind to say the above line is that a file created using Microsoft Office can’t be edited using Google Docs in Google Drive. To do this the file must be exported as “Google document” under “File” menu. But overall Google Drive is the great service especially for the team who wants to work together no matter wherever they are.
