A few weeks ago, I shared 4 Reasons to Use Google Chrome. As today's Tech Tip, I would like to encourage you to use Google Drive over saving to a device or a server.
4 Reasons to Use Google Drive (and your students too!)
Adapted from What’s so great about Google Drive? And why should my students be using it? at Cult of Pedagogy.
#1. It’s accessible from wherever you have Internet.
Think of the word “Drive” the same way you’d think of the hard drive on your computer, except it’s cloud-based, meaning it exists online. So you can upload a file into Google Drive from your home computer, then open your Drive on your work computer and get into that same file.
#2. Drive is not just a place to store things; it's also a place to make things.
Here’s where Google Drive starts to completely kick Dropbox’s butt: Once you’re inside Google Drive, you also have access to a collection of tools you can use to create things.
#3. It's perfect for collaboration.
Every tool in Drive has built-in collaboration tools that allow multiple users to work on the same document, insert comments in the margins, or just let others take a peek at what they are working on.
#4. It saves automatically.
As long as you are working in Google Drive, you don’t ever have to worry about forgetting to save your work and losing everything when your computer freezes up or the power goes out.
