Does this require an invite? If it does can someone pop me one at sgoldfein@gmail.com or send me a link to it?
No invite needed just go to https://drive.google.com/
It takes awhile to sync the first time then you will see all your stuff
I was browsing the Nexus S forums and found this in a thread about google drive, you guys might find it interesting..

The terms that scare me, also from the Nexus S thread:
Google Drive — Terms

When I tried to go to the site the day I asked for a referral, it said it was not open to me. I downloaded the app from play and it installed and I got an email saying I was now using Drive. Go figure. That clause does scare me.
Yea i have the 50gb from box. But i do enjoy drive. google is on point with their stuff

50 GB from drive is nice I agree, but I rarely use it because of the file size limitation...
So on Drive the problem I have with is the android app kind of sucks. I don't need the alphabet showing me where I'm at between files. It makes it show a lot fewer files at a time.. I want just a file explorer kind of view. I need the ability to add folders. And the worse thing is where are the files after I make them available offline? Like if I store android files and then make them offline for phone use I can't access them outside of the drive app unless I'm missing something.
Things that will change in time I'm sure, but for now since I primarily use my android devices over PC I have still been using drop box mostly other than to est stuff.
