What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Drive is the most effective file storage platform, to use for person to person and group collaborations. Thanks to integrations with other products in the Google ecosphere like Sheets and Docs, the effectiveness of real time collaboration is like no other.

I like that Google Drive brings artificial intelligence capabilities into file storage. For me , I have benefitted from this mostly in the areas of quicker file searches and seamless file sharing with both Google and non-Google Drive users alike.

Apart from the few occasions when download and upload speed for files on my Google Drive suddenly slow down, I think Google Drive has no major flaw that has affected my day to day professional operations in a serious way.

Drive's easy to use interface and its unique automatic functionalities are reasons why I will recommend this product.
