According to Google's official blog, starting Tuesday, users will be able to synchronize their files such as documents, photos, videos and songs across computing devices installed with Google Drive.
The service is now available for PC, Mac as well as Android smartphones and tablets. But the version for Apple's iOS devices will come later.
Google offers first five gigabytes of storage per account for free and users can choose upgrades from 25 gigabytes for $2.49 per month to one terabyte a month for $49.99.
In the blog post, Sundar Pichai, the company's senior vice president, said Google Drive can stand from the already established cloud services for working seamlessly with users' overall Google experience, such as Google Docs, Google+, search and Gmail.
For instance, users can attach photos from Google Drive to their Google+ social network and attach files directly to emails in Gmail.
Cloud storage and collaboration is not new as Apple's iCloud, Microsoft's SkyDrive and Amazon's Cloud Drive, and services from cloud startups like Dropbox and Box have been in the market first.
