Be it hassle-free file storage, sleek syncing, deep integration with G-Suite of apps and maps, Google Drive has got it covered. Combine that with 15GB of free storage (split between Gmail, Drive and Google Photos) and it's hard to beat Google's feature-rich cloud storage service. It's been a while since I started using Drive for file storage and I have to say that the cloud service has lived up to my expectations. After exploring all the goodies the cloud storage service has to offer, I've compiled a comprehensive list of 20 Google Drive tips and tricks you'd love to master.

Google Drive is just as popular on mobile devices as it is on the web. So it is appropriate to include tips for both platforms. With customization in mind, the digest also includes hacks that let you either fill in the blanks or tweak the settings in sync with your workflow. Enough talk, let's get started!

When you create a Google Docs file, you can use Google's built-in speech-to-text system to type with your voice. It works surprisingly well too. Even better, the speech recognition tool can also understand commands like "new line" and "period", and it responds to them by creating a new line or by inserting a period in the text.

Having to constantly search for things on the web, copy their links and add them to a document can quickly become annoying and boring. Google Drive fixes this too. You can simply highlight the text you want to create a hyperlink on and press "Cmd+K" or "Ctrl+K". This will open a small dialog box just below the selected text, where you can search for keywords and select the appropriate link, which will then automatically become hyperlinked in the document.
