Google Drive

Getting Started with Google Drive:

Google Drive on your Mac, PC, Android or iOS device gives you a single place for up-to-date versions of your files from anywhere. Share individual files or whole folders with specific people or your entire team. Create and reply to comments on files to get feedback or add ideas. There's so much you can do with Google Drive, so let's get started!

GAFE Users: 30GB of free space for each user (shared space with Gmail and Google+ photos) compared to China Spring ISD's iDrive which is only 500MB.
