The user interface looks nearly identical to Google Drive (as long as you select Drive as your storage utility), and remapping your flowchart or diagram with the built-in tools is super easy. Once you’ve selected your template, using Draw.io is surprisingly simple. You can also start with a blank diagram if you so wish. Once you’ve logged into your cloud account to allow Draw.io a place to save your files, you gain access to a number of templates you can use to control the basic design of your diagram. Draw.io doesn’t feature the same amount of complexity or depth as a dedicated application like Visio, but it does feature full cloud support, with the option to sync into Google Drive, Dropbox, and even Github. For some, this gives it an edge over other programs, particularly because it supports web-only platforms like Chrome OS, a popular choice for some business users. Like most free alternatives, Draw.io lives in your web browser, instead of as a downloadable program for Mac or Windows.
