Google Drive vs SkyDrive





   Need a fast and easy to use Word Processer, Spreadsheet, or how about you need to make a presentation? I have two products for you to consider SkyDrive and Google Drive. SkyDrive is one of Microsoft’s product and of course we all should know that is the most used office program. Google Drive, as the name should state, is one of Google’s great creations.

   I personally use Google drive a lot consider I don’t have a printer at my house. I usually just save the file from Microsoft Office and then place it in my Google drive. Load it down at the college with Google Drive and print it off. Just using the commonly used office file formats makes accessing the files anywhere, just ten times easier. The only draw-back to doing this I found out is that sometimes I may have to edit the document because Google Drive wants me to convert it to their format first and then save it again.



   Now, if you have figured out I am a Microsoft Office user and these two reasons bought me over very fast; editing and sharing. Now to make it short the desktop version and web version of Microsoft Office sync up very nicely. I can save my file onto SkyDrive and then go to another computer that doesn’t have Office installed and just edit from the web version. Then throw it on a jump drive go to another that has Office but no internet revise the paper, and head back home upload the file to my computer and everything is synced up. Google drive has the possibility but just lacks the power of an offline editor.
