My experience with Google Cloud Drive Enterprise for more than 6 years has really been well. Since i started using it, it has made it extremely easy for me to manage my important work and personal files. It is one of the easiest and safest application i have ever encountered for file management. It allows me to access my files from anywhere anytime and i can easily share them with my clients and co-workers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Google Cloud Drive Enterprise provides top security for my business and personal files and this makes it a super brilliant and reliable solution for file management. It is a cloud based software and this makes it a super secure application. You can store your photos, images and work documents in Google Cloud Drive Enterprise without fear of losing them.

For the last 6+ years i have used Google Cloud Drive Enterprise, i have never encountered any challenge. Google Cloud Drive Enterprise is an excellent and exceptional tool for file management. Nothing to dislike about it.

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Real-time synchronization and multi-person collaboration are the strongest part of my Google Drive experience , and I see both these factors as the major point of difference between Google Drive and most available alternatives.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to collaborate on documentations in real-time with my peers, and even introduce additional features like chat, via add-ons is my favorite aspect of Drive.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Drive is linked to my G suite account, without any form of two-factor authentication , when I need to switch from work email to my Google Drive. This ensures, that anyone who gains access to my Gsuite email account, has automatic access to my Drive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Asides the above security issue I mentioned, Google Drive ticks all of the boxes for a file storage platform, both in terms of features and capability.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Continually Improving Product
Reliable

Best and secure cloud storage platform!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

It is comparatively easy to use as compared to its market peers!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is an easy-to-use online platform to store data safely, which provides the feature of drag and drop. You can easily access your files whenever you require, which are saved on this platform. The best thing about this software is that it automatically back ups your data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Cloud Storage only lets you back up a small amount of data for free - above 15 GB, you have to buy additional storage. But the cost is justified because of the security and services it provides.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Small monthly payments that are pre-authorised, so you never have to think about it!
