Google Drive and Its Utility
One application I catch myself using frequently is Google Drive, it is for downloading syllabi or making sure I can access my files between devices I tend to be using Google Drive. For this smackdown I chose said application that anyone can download onto their phone or tablet or access it through their google account on a browser.
Google Drive is a cloud storage application as its foundation but also incorporates programs that are comparable to Microsoft's Word, PowerPoint, and Excel document types. These document types being Google's Docs, Slides, and Sheets respectively. Unlike Microsoft applications on mobile devices where each document type is it's own application, Google Drive can utilize all the documents on one application. Google Drive allows someone to create, edit, and organize the documents they want without leaving the app. Google Drive is account bound so it can be access by any device with the correct credentials, even at the same time.
The data transferability comes in handy for any student or professional, I primarily use it due to the fact that I am constantly on the move and I can work little by little on multiple devices without having to email myself the different file versions back and forth. Such as starting an assignment before work on my desktop, answering some questions on my phone during my lunch break, and finishing it on my laptop that same day while at my significant other's house. I will be using this application in my future career in the field of biology. Any assignment related articles or manuals regarding fieldwork can be accessed away from the facilities I may work at that moment of time. I can also share access to files with individuals as viewing or editing purposes. So say someone in the field with me collecting mosquitos for batch testing forgot their manual. I can share my document in my drive and they can access it on their phone. Or say I have a meeting presentation and the USB drive file is corrupted. I can then access the backup file on the Google Drive Cloud. You may watch my presentation on this subject with a demonstration of the app here at. https://youtu.be/oj1O4EKALSo
Google drive is very useful. I used it more in highschool than I do now, but if I didn’t have it then, I don’t know how I would’ve been organized.
ReplyDeleteGoogle Drive is what I use for literally everything! My whole internship is kind of based off of it. It is where we plan everything for the week and put all of our work.

ReplyDeleteGood choice for a smackdown. Google Docs and other apps are definitely under utilized. Google was very smart in creating Docs and apps that work seamlessly and make sharing easy. Unlike Word, Docs allows for same time collaboration on documents which is very helpful when working on group projects. I can see why it is now heavily used in grade school through college.
