Thing 13

This document details my opinions on Google Drive and the associated tools that come with it.

This is just a quick drawing I made to demonstrate how publishing to a webspace works using HTML:


Students could use Google Drive to collaborate by sharing files, for example, research they've done. They will all have access to the same files and can edit them for everyone else to see. All students will have access to the same version and no one will have to worry about being out of the loop. The program is similar to dropbox in that regard, though its not quite as automatic and familiar as just dragging and dropping files.

In comparison with Zoho, Google Drive and its associated applications are less robust initially, although much of that can be overcome with other downloadable Google applications. Zoho seems to have a more business oriented outlook, and the website is less simple and more difficult to navigate than Google Drive. Zoho offers services like "Live Support," which enables business owners to connect with and support customers through Zoho. They basically make running a website/business easier by being the primary go-to for web-based solutions.
