 2. Cloud Service Demonstration
I use Google Drive ( https://www.google.com/drive/ ) to show cloud service Demonstration. It is
a cloud service helps for an Easy and secure access to our content to Store, share, and collaborate
on files and folders from our mobile device, tablet, or computer

Features of google drive

1. Team collaboration
 One of Google Drive’s greatest features is the ability to collaborate with others on
documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings.
 Up to 50 people can work on the same document simultaneously, from wherever
they are, using any device. They can even do it at the same time.
2. Share with people outside your organization
 Files and folders can be shared with up to 200 email addresses for viewing,
commenting and editing. Depending on administrator settings, this can even include
people outside of your organization.
3. Advanced search features
 Google allows you to search for files and folders that contain certain words in their
title or content. You can take this a step further, and search for documents shared
from a specific person or documents you have shared with a particular person.
4. Drag and drop uploads
 You can of course upload files by clicking the big red “New” button and finding the
file you want to upload, but why waste time with that when you can simply drag
and drop files for automatic upload? This is a great time saver if you are uploading
a lot of files into your Drive.
5. Use the mobile app to scan straight to your drive
 The Google Drive app is really useful. Download it for free onto your phone then,
when you’re out and about and you see something you want to save, you can use
your camera to scan an image and save it straight to your Drive. Particularly useful
if you see an advert, sign, or business card at an event.
6. Automatically convert uploaded files to Google Docs editor format

11
  If you want to be able to edit files that you have uploaded to Drive, such as Word
documents, then they need to be converted into an editable format (i.e. a Google
Doc).

Steps for Demonstration

Step 1: we have to open a browser and write this google drive URL
(https://www.google.com/drive/ )

Step 2: if you don’t have an account click -> Try Drive for Work then click Get stared then you
have to sign up

12
Step 3: if you have an account before just like me click -> Go to Drive it will directly dive to
google drive service homepage (here is my mine)

13
Step 4: we can upload a file or folder to the drive by clicking -> new

Step-5: click -> file upload then click open

14
Step-6: wait for it until upload and click show more

Step-7: Finally you uploaded a file into your Google drive
