Google Drive goes Live

[Mr Happy]

Well after 6 long years in development and loads of rumors Google Drive the online cloud hosting is finally live. It's a lot like Dropbox for people who know that but has the advantage of some fantastic search features. Google can identify images and their content so lets say you take a picture of your pet dog Google recognize it and then you can just search for dog and the picture will appear.

Google Drive has lots of other cool features too. It can recognize 30 different file types. Standard ones like jpeg, gif, png images, word, excel, pdf and all the other standard ones but it can even show Photoshop and Indesign files which is incredibly useful even if your computer doesn't have Photoshop installed.

Another fantastic feature is it supports OCR. This means if you have a scanned document or a pdf Google and recognize the text in the document allowing you to search for it so if you receive a PDF ebook or invoice you can search for that by the text contained in that document instead of trying to remember the file name or when you uploaded or received it.

You can install the windows, mac and android software with the iPhone and iPad probably waiting approval from Apple so they will be another 2-3 weeks later like how the Google+ iOS app arrived later. No news of a Windows Phone, Linux, Blackberry or other apps yet although they'll probably follow.

Nothing is ready for India on the launch date. I hate it !
Many Indian technocrats work at Google and other web giants and still we are considered a third world country.
