Google Drive

Store, organize, open, and share files from an Android phone or tablet with Google Drive, supporting mobile work and collaboration. As a Productivity app for Android, it gives users a central place to reach files when they are away from a desktop. It can store and edit more than 100 file types, including PDFs, Office files, and videos.

The Android camera can scan paper documents and upload the resulting files. Search locates items by name or content, while filters narrow results by file type, last modified date, and other available criteria. Shortcuts to recent and important files help users return quickly to active work.

Permission settings control access when files and folders are shared, and files can be viewed offline. Notifications highlight important activity on stored files, while Android tablets support side-by-side viewing and drag-and-drop actions. As part of Google Workspace, the app gives subscribers AI assistance for summaries and quick facts, administrative security and management controls, group or team sharing, shared drives, and electronic signature requests.

Google accounts include 15GB of storage shared across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google Photos, with additional storage available through a Google One in-app purchase. Google Drive is freeware, with a paid version that adds features. The current version includes bug fixes and performance improvements.

Free to use — a paid version with additional features is also available.
