Google Drive is the cloud file storage, sharing and collaboration service within Google Workspace, operated by Google LLC, a subsidiary of publicly traded Alphabet Inc. It provides file storage with real-time co-editing across Docs, Sheets and Slides, shared drives, Drive for desktop sync, and Gemini AI features, and is widely used from individuals to large enterprises. It is a general-purpose cloud storage and collaboration tool rather than a full records-management or workflow-centric document management system.
