1. Google Docs: Google Docs refers to the web-based editors to upload, create, edit, and share Google documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, and forms. These online documents are tightly integrated with other Google Apps services and provide very powerful real-time collaboration features.

 

2. Google Drive: Google Drive is a single place to manage all your files, including Google Docs. You can think of Google Drive as your personal stash of files and folders that follows you wherever you go - it lets you keep everything and share anything. With Google Drive, you can access files, folders, and Google Docs from a web browser or any device where you've installed your Google Drive. No matter what happens to your devices, your files are safely stored in Google Drive. You can store practically everything for next to nothing.

 

3. Common in Google Docs and Google Drive: If you have used Google Docs, some things in Google Drive will be of similar nature.

  • Create Google Docs by clicking the red Create button.
  • Upload files
  • Edit Files
  • Share with exactly who you want — without email attachments.
  • Search or sort your list of files, folders, and Google Docs.
  • Preview files and Google Docs.

 

4. Google Docs Vs Google Drive: Now onwards your Google Docs files will be stored in Google Drive. If you used Google Docs prior to the launch of Google Drive, then Google Drive replaces what you've previously known as the Google Documents List. All your Google Docs will automatically appear in your Google Drive. And when you move local files into the Google Drive folder on your computer, you can easily share and collaborate on them, much like you already do with Google Docs. Some of the main differences are-

5. What’s Completely New to Google Drive

  • Sync files between all of your devices with Google Drive for your Mac or PC.
  • View and search Google Drive on the web in a visual way with grid view.
  • Add a file to a folder by clicking the folder icon within a file or Google document, spreadsheet, or presentation.
  • Work with more file types by installing Google Drive apps from the Chrome Web Store.
  • Can use Google Drive with other Google products
  • Share a photo stored in Google Drive directly in Google+.
  • Search for images using keywords — without tagging your photos. Google Drive uses Google Goggles technology to recognize familiar things and places.
  • Can store all file types, including documents, presentations, music, photos, and videos. You can open many file types right in your browser, including PDFs, Microsoft Office files, high-definition video, and many image file types, even if you don't have the corresponding program installed on your computer.
  • Google Drive automatically keeps everything up to date, so you can make edits and access the latest version from anywhere, regardless of where you are.
  • Google Drive provides many ways to view, find, and sort your files. It includes powerful search options—even the ability to search for text in pictures—to help you quickly find what you're looking for.
