I think calling it a "drive" will confuse a lot of people. I expected a device driver, and not technical people have no idea of drives, they just have documents and photos.

I tried with a text file

  X Y
  1 2
  3 4
and for some reason the convert version has 1 2 3 4 in the same row.

Too late to edit: Google drive is call "drive", so I guess it's more usual than I noticed.
Hm, I don't know, I am OK with "drive". Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, iCloud Drive.
It really does just make sense too. We have hard drive so I wouldn’t we have digital drives.
