Google Drive is a file storage and synchronizing service that was released by Google on April 24, 2012. Google Drive is an extension of Google Docs, allowing users to store all types of files on the Google servers.
Google Docs came from two separate products, Writely and Google Spreadsheets. Writely was a web-based word processor created by the software company Upstartle, whereas Spreadsheets, launched as Google Labs Spreadsheets on June 6, 2006, originated from the acquisition of the XL2Web product by 2Web Technologies. Writely's original features included a collaborative text editing suite and access controls. Menus, keyboard shortcuts, and dialog boxes are similar to what users may expect in a desktop word processor such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer.
