It’s important to realize that Google Drive is a replacement for Google Docs (GDocs). Once you sign-up with your Google account, thedocs.google.com URL will redirect todrive.google.com. The web interface is fundamentally the same and you can add, create, edit and delete files and folders as before.

Replacing GDocs is a clever idea. The projects are compatible and your cloud-based documents can be browsed from your desktop — an attractive feature for those migrating from Microsoft Office. It’s also apparent Google has learned lessons from doomed projects such as Wave; it’s easier to piggy-back on the success of an existing project than build a new user base from scratch. GDoc’s 40 million users have little reason not to adopt Google Drive.
