User Case: How Do I FTP to Google Drive?

Brief Introduction to FTP and Google Drive

As we all know, FTP is the standard protocol for users to transfer files from a client-server to a computer network, and it is the most traditional way to store files online and store them on the Internet. Remote access to data is one of the ways to inspire cloud storage technology as the Internet becomes accessible. A standard login program can be created to log in to FTP.

Google Drive is super easy to access from a web browser as it's a suite of applications, such as Google Sheets, Documents, and PowerPoints. Not only does it allow access to files stored in the cloud, but changes can be made immediately, and the feature has been adopted by the vast majority of computer professionals around the world. Google Drive offers great cloud content collaboration features such as file sharing, co-editing, presence indication, document versioning, live chat, and more.

As mentioned above, FTP is one of the most traditional ways to store files online. Therefore, compared to Google Drive, FTP still has the following disadvantages.
