Once you’ve opened an account, the application creates a Google Drive directory on your local disk and every file that is saved on the directory is made available on all devices, in as much as you’ve logged into your Gmail account on them. The application comes with support for Google office suite applications (Google Photos, Docs, Sheets and Slides) and files created and edited through these applications are stored on the Drive.
