Google Drive is live

Then you have Microsoft's Skydrive: https://skydrive.live.com/
Also an alternative.What will be interesting is the integration with the file system.
Does Google Drive automatically sync folders on your computer, like Dropbox?
-
Yes, and much faster
-
Can I just ask people to click the drive link on the google homepage when logged in(at the top of page in the big black bar). I have entered through that since yesterday no problem. Even though the other way says notify me.
-
You should get a link to the installer after that blah blah blah

What big black bar? Screenshot? I can't find the damn thing.
-
At the top of page is a black nav bar with links to docs, plus etc.
I've drive up there since yesterday. I just clicked it and downloaded installer. Now I've drive folder on system.
-
Nope! For me it redirects to http://www.google.no - and there is no Drive link...
-
-
-
While I wait ... does it sync one folder, like Dropbox and SkyDrive - or does it allow arbitrary folder sync?
-
Testing link from drive
Deleted link

Does this answer your question?
-
I do not even have that in the black Google bar.

Normally we're always last to the parade but it seems we rolled out on launch?
I got zero notification I just noticed Drive in the bar and clicked it. I presumed everyone was getting it.

you sure? go to the other sketchup forums (the productforums.google one)
the black bar should be at the top of your screen there (and pretty much everywhere else in the googleverse)
[EDIT].. nevermind.. i can't even read what you typed properly…

++simonYou should look also at Sugar Sync, it starts with 5GB, +2GB sending 20 invitations, +500MB for each friend joined, +750MB for starting tasks. And it's more versatile than dropbox to syncronize the folders
