gExplore

gExplore was created before the arrival of Google Drive but gExplore is fully compatible with both Google Drive and Google Docs.

 gExplore was featured in the September 2012 issue of Maximum PC!

With gExplore you can:

• Upload and download files with Google Drive.
• Encrypt files before uploading to Google Drive.
• Create, rename, delete, download, and organize collections.
• Share files and collections with other users.
• Run permission audits on collections to see full sharing details.
• Bring the convenience of Google Drive to your desktop PC.

Quickly search documents by title and contents, export documents to different formats, and store document metadata to get even more out of Google Drive. Check out gExplore on the Google Apps Marketplace.

Why gExplore when I already have Google Drive installed?

Good question! Google Drive is a great tool, and it is made even better when used with gExplore. Here's a few reasons why you will find gExplore handy:

• Google Drive can use a lot of space and bandwidth to sync files.
• gExplore offers encryption before uploading files to Google Drive.
• Command line access allows for scripted uploading and downloading.

Other Great Features

The Permissions Audit tool generates a report showing how all files in a collection are shared. With this report you can quickly and easily see who has read/write access to your files. The File Size Audit tool lists all your files and the amount of quota used by each file. This feature lets you easily see what files are using up your Google Drive quota.

gExplore uses 256-bit AES encryption for encrypting files prior to upload to Google Drive.
