Use google drive and all the google features without a gmail email?

[Big-Mac-Please]

Hello All,

Samsung s3 arrives Monday and I want to setup the google drive and all the bits google offer to sync the phone and calendar etc but I've used my own email address and hosting years.

Is it still possible to do this?

I've googled it and it seems to give a mixed answer. Some items say you can but others think you must have the gmail account now?

Thanks!

A gmail email?

That sucks!

I don't have google drive yet just working it all out.

Would my calander sync if I don't have a gmail email?

Thanks for the info

I have signed up and got things working but come across an issue.

I've uploaded loads of pictures and movies from my iPhone to google drive. I've now installed google drive onto my macbook air and its not just showing me the files but downloading them??

Can it not just show me what files are in my google drive without actually downloading them all to my air as that really seems stupid to me!

Thanks!!

Thanks for that! I will remove the app then and take a look at the business side of things
