Google Drive is the new home for your Google Docs, files, and folders. Learn more.

• Available 5GB of storage per account.
• Optional additional storage may become available toward the end of the year, and further information and updates will be shared as applicable.
• Create, share, and manage files.
• Sync files from your computer.
• Access on the go with the mobile app.

Over the next few weeks, Google will implement a phased rollout of Drive to University accounts. It may already have appeared for some, but not others. This process will continue until Google has made it available to all University accounts, with an expected completion date of mid-June.

How will you know when Google Drive is available to you?

"Keep everything, share anything: Google Drive"

When you log in to Google Docs, you'll know it's available for you to try if you see the Google Drive logo at the top of the page, with the phrase "Keep everything, share anything: Try Google Drive" next to it. If that does not appear on your Google Docs page, Drive is not yet available for your account.

You'll also be able to opt out of Drive until the phased rollout at the University is complete in June. At that time, you no longer will be able to opt out or switch views, and Google Drive will replace the current Google Documents list interface for all users.

Access everywhere

Google Drive is everywhere you are--on the web, in your home, at the office and on the go. So wherever you are, your stuff is just...there. Ready to go, ready to share. My Drive is the home for all your files and you can sync files from your computer to My Drive.

How can I access Google Drive?

Google Drive is available for:

• Windows and Mac
• Chrome OS
• iPhone and iPad (coming soon)
• Android devices

No matter what happens to your devices, your files are safely stored in Google Drive. Google Drive lets you do more than just store your files. Share files with exactly whom you want and edit them together, from any device. Google Drive gives you instant access to Google Docs, a suite of editing tools that makes working together better--even when your teammates are miles away.

What changes will I see with Drive?

Changes users will see in the new online interface include:

• Collections are now called Folders.
• When a user first switches to Drive, a view called My Drive contains:
• Documents the user owns or has uploaded
• Folders the user owns and the items contained within (regardless of ownership)
• Nothing else, until the user drags items into My Drive
• Note that items that aren't contained in My Drive by default must be dragged to My Drive in order to be synced.
• Other items that would have previously appeared in the Home view of the Google Documents List can easily be found elsewhere. You can choose views and filters to see items that have been shared with you, recently opened documents, starred items, deleted items, items owned by a particular person, and more.
• You'll have powerful new options to search, sort, or preview files.
