    Too complete platform for essential cloud storage.

    Date: Nov 11 2024
    Summary

    Currently, Google Drive is being used by over 90% of our employees in our technology company, and the main reason why almost our entire company is using it is because of its effectiveness when it comes to storing important files. Additionally, it is important to highlight the way in which we can share files among our colleagues, within the company, with just a simple link, we can privately share a file so that only one person can view it. Additionally, it also has a Groups system, where we can share specific files with our work team, in this way the entire work team can have access to this file at any time and without having to access any link. We are very happy with the excellent storage method that this platform has provided us. I consider that this has been really useful for storing a large number of files at a relatively low price. In addition, we have not had any type of failure in the security of our files stored in this cloud, no type of file has been stolen by an unknown person, which allows security to always be intact in our Google Drive account. Overall, this platform has performed excellently and has provided me with cloud storage that is completely different from other platforms, I am very happy with the results.

    Positive

    Google Drive is a pretty good system to be able to improve storage for both personal and business use. The main aspect that I liked about this platform is its connectivity with the Google account, this connectivity and synchronization is very important to be able to maintain a constant storage within this platform, because this synchronization allows you to share files in real time, between the devices that are linked to your Google account. In addition, each of the images, documents or files that you upload from your mobile device, you can see in real time when it is fully uploaded from your computer, this synchronization is immediate and very beneficial for all types of companies. Another thing that I liked about Google Drive is the way in which it allows me to edit all types of documents, without having to download them, in addition, it also allows me to view documents online, without having to download the documents, within my computer, this storage system has an integrated service to be able to view documents online, which is great, since you do not have an application to view documents, you just have to use this cloud service. Another feature that I must highlight is in relation to the prices that this platform handles, the price for hiring more storage space is relatively accessible and very cheap, compared to other cloud storage platforms, I consider that Google Drive has the most affordable prices on the market today, and it is completely secure cloud storage at a price that you will not find anywhere else.

    Negative

    There are several things that can be improved within Google Drive, the main feature that I did not like is in relation to its general design, the design as a platform is quite simple and very basic for all users, in addition, there is no type of function or way to modify this design, either to change the colors of it or change the general interface of Google Drive, I would like the user interface to be able to be modified to the user's taste, in this way I will be able to use a cloud service, which allows me to modify the design depending on my comfort. Another thing that I did not like about Google Drive is that this platform forces the user to maintain an active and stable Internet connection. At all times, otherwise you will not be able to access any type of document or image stored within your system, in the cloud, this is quite negative, I would like the platform to save very small copies of each of the stored files, in this way each of those files can be accessed, without needing to maintain an active Internet connection, this would be quite good for users who have a poor Internet connection.

    Google Drive is amazing

    Date: Jan 11 2023
    Summary

    Overall experience is really good because easy to upload, download or delete files and folders. Brilliant free product.

    Positive

    Google Drive is one of the better Google apps. I have several device and use it to more files from one device to another. This app has so many important features. Easy to use and user friendly.

    Negative

    A great application became useless. When I upload a file from my device, I open drive on other devices and the file is not there. Sometimes it can't upload a single file or photo and it says it's uploading but never upload.

    Making my work paperless and printer less.

    Date: Nov 10 2023
    Summary

    Positive

    Great for collaboration

    Date: Mar 24 2022
    Summary

    I use it for personal projects and work projects. I find it great for sharing excel files with my team so we can edit them at the same time.

    Positive

    - Share files with ease
    - Very similar to Microsoft products making it user-friendly
    - Access files from any device

    Negative

    - Recently added limit to overall storage so you have to pay if you want to store more. Having used gmail and google drive for years, I immediately was over the threshold for free storage and now I can't edit any of my document unless I pay google.
    - Would be cool to see a feature that allowed you to track your history of changes and go back if need be in case someone else made an edit you needed to revert. However, there could already be a plugin for this as I haven't searched for this solution.
    - Also would be cool if being a Google guide could give users a discount on or free extra storage space.

    Friendly, Free and Stable Cloud Space Manager

    Date: Sep 12 2022
    Summary

    Google Drive delivers stable space for content, which is well secured and there are credible access mechanisms.
    Google Drive is freely issued, hence there is suitable growth in terms of cloud storage and database control.

    Positive

    Google Drive is offered for free, where after having a Google account, the developer issues the subscribers the tool.
    Besides, Google Drive has the extra space, where premium subscribers get the amount of space they need.
    The collaboration with other different security tools and Google products is a benefit..

    Negative

    Google Drive has managed to deliver quality storage space, which is a friendly aspect of business.
    However, Google Drive is not way flexible, and this challenges users.

    A must for people who work on-the-go

    Date: Nov 18 2021
    Summary

    I love Google Drive, I can't recommend it enough. I love that I can store any kind of file on the cloud, freeing space from my computer and then accessing all my information either from my phone, tablet or laptop.

    I can share files with my colleagues or anyone and then make the file private again just with a few clicks. I can create new documents from within Drive.

    Google Drive really is revolutionary!

    Positive

    - Real-time collaboration
    - Access from almost any device
    - Save all your files, never lose them to viruses or computer failures
    - Flexibility for file-sharing
    - Account protection via 2-step verification
    - Mac and Windows desktop app (saves you a lot of Disk space!)
    - Have all your stuff gathered in one place, with one account.

    Negative

    - If you fill up your Drive you'll eventually have to buy more space.

    The only cloud storage platform you'll ever need

    Date: May 24 2020
    Summary

    It is overall a wonderful experience, everything about the platform is a breeze to use and uploading as well as sharing files has never been this easy.

    Positive

    Google Drive is a great platform for uploading your files. It has a user-friendly interface as well as tons of features to discover. You can share your files with others via the shareable link as well as edit the permissions on who can access it. It is a truly wonderful experience as expected from Google.

    Negative

    The basic/free version of Google Drive only comes with 15GB of storage. While it may be enough for some, it can be a little small especially when trying to backup a lot of files.

    Positive

    I love that Google Drive is a free service accessible to anyone with internet and even without - offline mode is great!

    Negative

    Excellent cloud storage facility

    Date: Jun 21 2020
    Summary

    I would absolutely recommend it to anybody. Google Drive has saved my data for a long time, and has served me well for many years. I still have storage space remaining, so that's saying something.

    Positive

    • Absolutely recommend Drive for all your storage needs.
    • Free storage gives you upto 15GB of cloud space, but this includes your other google data like gmail, or photos. Still, it's much greater than most other cloud storage providers.
    • Everything you see is real-time. Your data isn't lost if you suddenly lose connection.
    • You can invite people to work on your files together. It's basically a virtual conference for data.
    • I love the offline storage options. Gives a lot of flexibility.
    • There are edit, view, comment options for link sharing, which is handy.
    • Downloading is fast, even for larger files.
    • Easy ways to categorize data into folders or search for them, and you can upload any type of files.

    Negative

    • Uploading can take a while, even for smaller files.
    • Some people might find the 15GB space limiting.
