Google Drive is a cloud-based storage solution that allows you to save files online and access them anywhere from any smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Google Photos doesn't make it clear which photos and videos are stored on device, and which are in the cloud, which can make it confusing to know how to transfer an entire library to your computer.

The big three offer cloud file storage that can ease hybrid cloud operations, with consistency between cloud and on-premise as well as greater enterprise application compatibility.
