You can search for a word from the text of the actual article. Let's say you upload a scanned image of an old newspaper clipping. Drive can even recognize text in scanned documents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.

Search by keyword and filter by file type, owner and more. And regardless of platform, blind users can access Drive with a screen reader. We're also working hard on a Drive app for your iOS devices. You can install Drive on your Mac or PC and can download the Drive app to your Android phone or tablet. You can access your stuff from anywhere-on the Web, in your home, at the office, while running errands, and from all of your devices.

Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go).

Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on anything (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items. Google Docs is built right into Backup and Sync, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You can upload and access all of your files, including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs, and beyond. Whether you're working with a friend on a joint research project, planning a wedding with your fiancé, or tracking a budget with roommates, you can do it in Drive. The app is available for free for all platforms- Windows, Mac and Linux.Backup and Sync (was Google Drive) is a place where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff.

No option to keep track of synced files.

While this app is an early version, we can expect more features coming in future versions. This app is useful only if you want to download all the files offline in your desktop. You need to sync all the files in your Google drive. While there are limitations that you cannot select the folders which you want to sync. If you do not use the official app, this app is worth a try. This will take some time depending on the internet connection you have but you can monitor the progress from the main screen.

ODrive will now sync the folder in Google drive with your local folder and download all the files locally for easy access. Once the authorization is done you can select the folder which you want to sync with your PC. Once you install the app, you need to authorize the app to use your Google account.
