Google Drive obviously will be valuable to consumers who want to store and share content that anybody can view and annotate from any device with Internet access and a web browser. But there is at least some thinking that it could wind up being a useful enterprise tool as well, especially for collaboration.

Google Drive, in one sense, is part of the evolution of application and device usage in the direction of content consumption. Google Drive might just turn out to be a product with value both for consumers and enterprises and mid-sized or smaller businesses.
