What is Google Drive?
Google Drive is a way to store your files on Google's servers, or "in the cloud." If you run the free Google Drive application, then you get a folder on your computer (Windows or Mac) that looks just like a directory on your hard disk that you can copy/drag your files in to.
Anything stored in that folder is kept on your hard disk and also copied to your account in the cloud. You can access those files from Web interface or from other computers, including mobile devices. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57420402-93/the-google-drive-faq/ Google Drive
What is synchronization?
One of the coolest things ever. When you use a synchronizing storage product, like Google Drive, any file you put in the drive, and anything you change that's stored in the drive, is automatically updated not just in the cloud but on all the other devices that you have connected to the Drive.
So you can start working on a file on one computer/device, close it, and then open it on a second computer/device, and what you'll see is the version you closed on the first one.

How safe is my data from hacking? Is it encrypted?
Google Drive encrypts data between your computer and the Google servers. If you're using your Drive over the Web, the connection defaults to secure (HTTPS), and when you use the software that makes your Google Drive appear on your computer like a local hard drive, the data between your computer and Google is likewise encrypted. No casual hacker will be able to grab your files by monitoring or intercepting your Internet connection to Google.
