Google Drive

Google Drive is not only a good tool when people from different departments/offices have to work together but it is a good tool to have all your ongoing work well organized. For a group of students, it's a magnificent tool. It might be less useful for people who don't work in groups or don't depend on other people's collaboration.

Alternatives Considered

The advantage of Google Drive is that it provides 15 GB free of charge. In addition, with Drive it is not necessary to save documents, since the connection is updated frequently. In addition, Google Drive works on almost all smartphones regardless of the operating system, so switching devices is really convenient.
