First look at Google Drive – storage in the cloud
If you have a Google account, you can now get 5gb of storage in the cloud. I signed up three days ago and just got a notice that I could try Google Drive out. Following the link to their download site, I signed in with my gmail account.
I immediately found policies we had read with Google documents over six months ago. I did find this odd.
After signing in you can download the synchronization program in order to create a folder that will sync with your Google Drive. If you look, you will also see Drive added to your menu in your Google account.
If you elect to download the synchronization program, will be met with a terms of service when downloading the program.

Finished after 25 minutes
Setup (Special Folder for Sync) – Select Advanced Setup for more options
Google drive is now setup and can be seen by logging into your account or you can access the folder it made.
Easy to use, you can simply drag a file to the folder on your computer and the file will sync to the 5gb cloud.
The file will be uploaded and marked as private for you only. You can share out the document if you wish to do so.
Google drive is an excellent Cloud storage for sharing files and pictures.

Why? The Golden Question
All over the internet you will find information on ‘How to Subnet’. Suddenly you are thrown into a world of bits and binary and given charts of ‘How to Subnet’. But why do you subnet?
