      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.

                    While I wait ... does it sync one folder, like Dropbox and SkyDrive - or does it allow arbitrary folder sync?

                            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… 😳

                                    Thank you Rich for the heads up,

                                    another thread is actually talking about the interest of such services:
                                    Dropbox's New feature - Links

                                    And here is a comparison table (in french) with the main actors in this area:

                                    Attention Required! | Cloudflare

                                    favicon

                                    (www.journaldugeek.com)

                                    Google Drive is very attractive !

                                      Nah. Finally got GDrive. I'll see how it works.

                                        You 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

                                          My Google Docs app updated itself to Drive before I heard of Drive. Though it was strange I could not use the website. But today I got an email informing me I could start using Google Drive.

                                            English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
