Google Drive went live less than a month ago after years of speculation. There are a bunch of nifty features, but they won’t seem very significant to Google Docs who have been using them for awhile. But in order to benefit from Google Drive, a user must install Google’s software to synchronize local files with their cloud storage.
That said, WTF does the client software need to eat up 52MB of RAM to just sit there? For that matter, DropBox uses a mere 22MB of RAM to perform the same task. That’s still pretty bloated for the job but is more than 50% smaller than Google’s software.
