Google offers Google Apps for Education, a Google Apps for education , and has announced Google Drive for Education for the more than 30 million Google Apps for Education users worldwide.

Google Drive for Education is scheduled to be available for free to all Google Apps for Education users in October 2014. Like Google Drive for Work, it offers unlimited storage capacity and allows users to upload up to 5TB of files at a time. The concept is like a 'student bag' that allows teachers and students to carry all their data on Chromebooks and tablets, eliminating the need to carry large amounts of paper.

Additionally, Education users will also have free access to Google Apps Vault , a Google Apps add-on service that allows users to retain, archive, search, and export their organization's emails to meet eDiscovery and compliance needs, and the Google Apps Audit API , a tool that allows Google Apps administrators to audit users' emails, email drafts, and archived chats.

In addition, Google launched services such as ' Classroom ,' a free program for teachers in Google Apps for Education, in May 2014, and is focusing on expanding its educational content. This suggests a 'McDonald's Happy Meal-like strategy' to get people familiar with Google products and services from a young age and encourage them to use them without hesitation as adults.
