Google Drive
Data storage
Google drive offers a standard 15GB of storage space for free to all the users. Gmail users can store all their email communications, attachments, photos and videos directly on to the Google Drive storage servers without any fuss. Users are also offered with a variety of other storage plans. Subscribers can choose a suitable storage plan depending upon their need.
Different file storage
Microsoft office files can also be stored in the Google Drive safely. Businesses can save their presentations and other project documents on the Drive under high security. Employees and businesses can communicate and execute their business without any hassle with the help of Google Drive. All types of files and data can be stored in the Google Drive, which is one of the important benefits as users need not worry about the type of files they possess.
Collaboration
Files stored in the cloud are kept confidential and it is up to the user to decide on whether to share their files online or not. Users can share their files with their loved ones and this allows others to edit and comment on the file shared. Invitations can be sent in a swift manner and likewise, the invitees could join their closed ones without any trouble. Online collaboration is probably one of the best features provided by Google Drive when compared to all other cloud.
Data security
Data stored in the cloud is stored under high quality security and protection. Security to the files stored in the cloud is very important. Secured Socket Layered online protection is offered by Google Drive and with the help of this, the user can protect their data stored in smartphones and tablets too. All Google services use SSL encryption to protect the data.
Gmail attachments
Most of the individuals and business organizations use Gmail accounts and Google Drive offers excellent platform for users to store their email attachments and documents on to the Drive at ease. In the attachment, the user could find the Google Drive logo and with just a click, the user could send the files they want on to Drive.
Google Drive search
Drive also provides ease of accessibility to the user by providing a search feature which enables users to find the files they need from the cloud by just entering the keyword. All the documents corresponding to the keyword would be displayed and the user could choose the file they need from the list.
Google Photos
Users can store all their personal photos on the Drive and give them a new life with the help of Google Photos. Google photos can be used to perform expert editing, animation settings etc. without having to do anything. Users can transform their pictures completely.
Google+
CirclesYou use Circles to organize the people you follow (as well as who follows you) on Google+. And you can use Circles to organize your stream. Just click a Circle in the left column to determine which circle of friends sees your posts.
In Google+, the stream flows as new updates are posted. New updates automatically show up at the top of your stream after you log in, and new comments appear automatically as people comment on the posts.
You’ll quickly realize that you spend much less time refreshing the page and much more time immersed in the info coming across your stream.
Hangouts
Think of hangouts as group video chat. You can chat, via video, with up to ten people at a time. You can choose not to be seen or heard, and you can select YouTube videos to share with the others in your hangout.
If you want to chat with someone while others are talking, just use the chat window, or you can have a texting chat with everyone in the hangout.
You can post photos, which integrate with Google’s Picasaweb albums, pretty easily in Google+. To share a photo, just click on the share box at the top of Google+ and click the little camera icon. You can upload photos to Picasaweb and share them straight to Google+.
Photo uploads
All the photos in Picasaweb you set as public will stay that way and be visible to all your Google+ Circles once you enable Google+.

Sharing
Clicking the Share link below the post you want to share posts it to your stream for all your chosen Circles to see.
Tagging
To tag an individual, just type + or @, followed by the person’s name. The person will be notified that you tagged them and linked to your post.
Your profile
You can download data from Google+ just like you can on Facebook. Log into Google+, click the little gear icon in the upper-right corner in the sand bar, and select Google+ Settings. On the left is a Data Liberation link. Click that and decide what information you want to backup from Google+. Anything you put into Google+ you can also take out freely.
See what things looked like back in time
Ever wondered how a street has evolved over the last few years? When you search a location and hit Street View, click on the small clock dial in the upper left corner. The pop-up window lets you travel back and see how it looked the past few times the Google Maps van drove by.
Book your next flight
If you’re planning a lengthy trip, tap the airplane icon and Maps will show you how much faster it would be to fly, plus estimated fare and a quick link to available flights -- which may very well be on Spirit, in which case you should probably just drive.
Even if you don't know where you are or where you're going If you only vaguely know where you’re headed but don’t have a specific address or point of interest in mind, you can right-click any spot and it’ll give you the option to get directions to or from that location.
If you're driving and need turn-by-turn directions stat, just touch and hold the blue train/car/pedestrian and your navigation will initiate immediately.

Google Map
Look through around 3D cities
If you’ve ever played around with Google Earth, you already know how mesmerizing it is to see top-down satellite images of random places around the world. But when you click on the Earth version of any location in Maps, you can get an even more unique 3D view of landmarks and cityscapes by hitting the “Tilt View” button. It only works on Desktop, but it's probably best to indulge your Superman fantasies from a stationary position.
Navigate through big confusing buildings
You know when you're lost inside some behemoth of a building and can't find an exit, and the situation starts to escalate, and you're thinking you may never again see the light of day? Well, Google has been rolling out an indoor maps feature, so at the very least you can find the nearest bathroom. The list is still fairly limited, but a handful of airports, museums, and stadiums around the world have jumped on board.

Save maps for access them offline
This is a useful trick if you're trying to cut back on your data usage or worried about finding your way with a shoddy signal. Save any part of any map for reference when you're offline.

Make existing maps better by adding your own details
If you notice a particular area is thin on info and feel like you could contribute something helpful (an unmarked service road, underground attraction, or some other weird little detail), the Map Maker function lets you become a contributor. Just don’t bother adding something bogus, since edits are closely moderated much like Wikipedia’s.
