Google Drive Review (Pending native app for Apple iPhone and iPad)

For those looking to add more free cloud storage solutions to their arsenal, Google Drive is one service you may want to consider. When its free and it is from Google, you can't go wrong however there is currently one caveat as of Monday June 18th, 2012 especially for those that use free cloud storage with their PC, Apple iPad and iPhone like me. As of today's date, there is currently no native app for the Apple iPad and iPhone. It is not to say that Google will not develop one it is just coming soon and in the works. As soon as I know when it is released or if someone beats me to it, I will update this post so we can keep everyone in the loop. I admit, I haven't used Google Drive as much as I would like do to the fact there is no native app yet for the Apple iPhone and iPad but in due time I will start using it.

Pass code Lock available?
Until Google releases the  native app for the Apple iPhone and iPad we do not know until a passcode lock is available.
