LT - Google Drive - Files Vs Docs
Learning and Technology: Google Drive. This image represents traditional computer files (left) and the way they need to be downloaded from a server before editing, then reuploaded for storing, and Google Docs (right) which are editable in the web browser and require no download/reupload process. Files can be hosted by Google Drive, but require the download/reupload process. Google Documents can only exist in Google Drive, unless you export them and in that case they must be treated like files.
