DONE!

If you already have a Gmail account, then you have Google Drive whether you know it or not.
Google, read, do.....Easy Peasy
I agree that Google Drive is a good way to store data in the cloud. But, Google Drive only provides 15GB of free storage. If you want more than that, you need to pay for a subscription. You can buy a thumb drive with as much permanent storage as you want, up to 1TB.
