Here's Your First Look At Google Drive For iPhone and iPad (GOOG)

Kevin Smith

google drive

Google Drive, the Dropbox-like cloud storage service, is now live for iPhone and iPad.

The app lets you store photos, documents, etc. to your Google account and integrates nicely with Google Docs. It also includes offline search, which is super handy if you don't have a connection.

Even better, Drive can search the contents of documents for specific keywords. With built-in photo recognition, you don't even need to search a file name, just the object you took a photo of.

We took the app for a spin so you can see everything it can do.

What would classic ads that shaped the advertising industry look like if a creative team had to reconfigure them into effective digital campaigns? Ireland-based advertising creative Eoin Conlon decided to figure it out, aiming to open up a discussion on how the industry uses and abuses social media. "I think in a lot of cases social media is just bolted onto the end of a campaign, with obligatory Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, etc., and I just think if there's no apparent reason for its inclusion in the campaign then it can end up doing more damage than good," he told Business Insider....

Dropbox and Google Drive are two comparable cloud storage services. With a good amount of us using more than one device these days, tools like Dropbox and Drive can really come in handy for syncing and sharing files across multiple devices. Dropbox launched back in 2008, and has since grown to become the go-to service for cloud-based storage, especially for everyday consumers. As of November 2012, Dropbox claimed more than 100 million users. Drive, which launched last April, has just over 10 million users. Both Drive and Dropbox feature similar drag-and-drop syncing,...

Twitter Has A Really Cool New Video App For iPhone

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 115 days ago

Twitter launched a new video-sharing app called Vine on the iPhone today. Vine was one of Twitter CEO Dick Costolo's biggest purchases last year, so everyone was excited to see what would become of it. Click here for photos > Vine lets you take very short three-segment videos, stitch them together, and share on Twitter or Facebook. It also acts as its own social network, letting you view your friends' videos in a news feed within the app. And yes, it feels a lot like the elusive "Instagram for video" that other companies like Cinemagram have been trying to nail for a long time now.

UPDATE: Google Docs are back! EARLIER: It looks like Google Drive, the service that stores your Google Documents, is having some problems.

It's likely that your documents haven't been deleted, but have temporarily disappeared from the desktop version... Read similar

How To 'Mine' Bitcoins And Make Real Money

www.businessinsider.com Dylan Love 72 days ago

Bitcoins are a completely anonymous digital currency that can be converted into real cash. And most interestingly, you can use your computer to "mine" them. It's something akin to prospecting for gold, except now you're hunting for 64-digit numbers. By having your computer repeatedly solve puzzles, you're competing with other miners to generate the number that the Bitcoin network is looking for. If your computer generates it, you receive 50 Bitcoins. At the time of this writing one Bitcoin is worth $42.98, so with correct computations currently worth $2,149 a pop there's plenty of motivation t... Read similar

Google's original premise was to be a super simple, stripped down search engine. It became famous for delivering 10 highly accurate blue links on a white screen. It also had a playful "I'm Feeling Lucky" option that would take you straight to a web page. As the company has grown in ambition, so too have its search results. While it's possible to get just 10 links, it's rare. Google's search results have gotten more and more bloated over time. As Google has decided to take on the world in just about everything — social networking, mobile phones, mapping, TV/video — its search result... Read similar

And Now We Know Why Bret Taylor Quit His Job As Facebook's CTO (FB)

www.businessinsider.com Owen Thomas 147 days ago

In June, Bret Taylor left his role as CTO of Facebook. At the time, he said he'd be working on an unnamed startup. Taylor hasn't yet replied to our email, but we're pretty sure Quip.com is the startup project Taylor was talking about. He's working on with former Googler, Kevin Gibbs. That's because Taylor has redirected his blog, Backchannel.org, to Quip.com, and he's listed as the application developer on the site. If you go to Quip.com, you're greeted by a Google login screen which asks for permission to view your email address and manage your contacts. If you click on "Learn more," the site... Read similar

Google Maps Is Changing: Here's What It Looks Like (GOOG)

www.businessinsider.com Steve Kovach 4 days ago

Google announced today that it's rolling out a brand new version of Google Maps for the desktop. The redesign strips away the side bar you're used to, and instead uses a tiny floating box where you type in searches. You don't just have to search for specific addresses either. Just typing in "coffee" or "brunch" will give you a list of suggested venues. Google also added some really cool 3D maps to Google Earth. Google is only letting a few people try the new Google Maps at first. You can sign up here if you'd like to test it out. The experience is incredible. See it for yourself in ... Read similar

Google introduced a new sign-in button for Google+ today that developers can add to their website or mobile app. If you've activated your Google+ account, this means you'll be able to log in to various sites and apps using the same credentials you use to access Gmail, YouTube, and other Google services.

15 Things You Never Knew You Could Do On Dropbox

www.businessinsider.com Kevin Smith 85 days ago

Dropbox is an excellent cloud storage service, despite it losing out to Google Drive in our recent fight. That's in part because Dropbox allows developers to come up with their own apps and services for you to use. That means Dropbox can be used as more than just a file storage system. You can use the service to back up and organize important files that may be scattered all over the web, stream music, or even host a website.
