Google Drive tops the list of the most productive apps for Android that you should be using — and with good reason. While Google One and Google Photos are great services to backup and restore your memories, they are restricted in the kinds of files they can save. This is where Google Drive comes in clutch, allowing users to upload virtually anything that exists digitally as a file. This could also include photos and videos, which you may back up using Google Drive to preserve the original quality.
Saving things to your Google Drive is quite simple. Just launch the app, tap on the “+” icon at the bottom-right of your phone’s screen, and select any file or folder of your choice. Alternatively, you can hit the Google Drive icon that shows up in certain apps when viewing files and other media. Anything uploaded on your Google Drive will count against the universal 15GB quota that is also shared by Google Photos and Google One.
You can create an entire file system of folders, which is a great way to organize your Google Drive. Expanding your Google account’s cloud allowance is perhaps a worthwhile investment if you enjoy using its services and don’t wish to be bombarded with a “low storage space” warning.
