I for one need as much as I can get! I preach and use Google Drive daily. There are so many benefits to using it and it's far superior to Apple's iCloud services.

Why Google Drive?

Google drive is the most popular cloud storage services available in the world today. Drive offers 15GB of free cloud storage space.

And all of this makes it so much easier to share and collaborate with friends or coworkers.
