Conclusion

Finally i want to say you that google drive is best platform for hosting small or even big files and also it is completely free of cost so it adds butter to bread. But the problem is very few of todays people reach to all features of google drive. Most of us don't know the potential of google drive. Many of so called expert will say you that google drive is not good because its free.

Let me tell you not all free things are bad and particularly googles products. In fact its the best cloud storage service and the best part is its completely free and simple to use.

So in my suggestion its good till it is updated to paid option but i hope it won't turn to paid like google photos.
