Google’s Android ecosystem is quite vast and offers users a whole range of services and tools. If you are one of the Android phone users, you must have accessed the different apps available on the Play Store. You not just get apps from third-party developers but also from the search giant itself. Google has a whole host of useful applications that helps the masses with different tasks. One of such applications offered by Google is the free cloud storage service called Google Drive.
The Google Drive application is available for both Android and iOS users. This storage app lets users save documents and other files on the cloud which can be accessed when required. This app not just allows the provision of storing files but also make necessary changes and share it with other users via different modes. You can delete unwanted files to free up some additional space.
While removing unnecessary files definitely helps with storage management, there are scenarios when we accidentally delete important documents on Google Drive. Thankfully, Google doesn’t permanently delete the files once removed from the app. A 30 days grace period is offered to restore deleted documents on Google Drive.
