Google Drive
Online file locker
Google Drive is a cloud storage service from Google that lets users store files online and access them from any device.
Files saved to Drive sync across computers and phones, and can be shared with others via links or permissions.
Drive integrates with Google's productivity apps—Docs, Sheets, Slides—making it a hub for collaborative work: I'll put the document in Google Drive so everyone can edit it.
