Google Drive is completely free and is incorporated as a service attached to your Google account with a storage space of up to 15GB by default. This makes this service very useful for any owner of a website or blog, since they can use Google Drive as an external storage service for large files.

On many occasions, blog or website owners have storage limitations in the contracted hostings. Another of the most common situations is the slowdown suffered by websites that store their own files. This is the reason why many prefer to store large files such as videos, on third party services and use the embed function to be able to display it on their websites.

One of the most used Video services is Youtube. Website owners often upload videos to private accounts and later display them on their websites using the Embed code.
