Pros

“We use it with several vendors and when they send me a document because they are sending it to my work email, but my log-in is set to my personal Google account, it requires requesting permissions or logging out and back in.”

Patrick C.

VP Strategy

“Google Drive provides me with a cloud storage that makes it possible for me to always have access to my stored documents from anywhere and whenever i need to use them.”

Daniel H.

Senior Lecturer

“The system functions as a dependable cloud storage solution which provides scalable storage capacity to our organization while it enhances our operational procedures.”

Enguerran M.

Fullstack web developer

Pros

“I am thankful for Basil coming around and offering me a cost-effective way to handle multiple clients, obtain documents, send out documents, and be able to assign tasks to clients for an affordable rate that even a startup company such as myself can afford”

Adrian B.

Owner, bookkeeper

“I would say if you aren't ready to go into a full enterprise solution like Microsoft or Atlassian, this product really gets you a lot of features for a small to midsize team (2 - 20 team members). ”

Amy P.

Bookkeeper and Project Manager

“Basil is a great hub for collaborating teams to have communication, track files, and deliverables using projects and tasks.”

Amy P.

Bookkeeper and Project Manager

Cons

“One drawback of Google Drive is that the free storage space can fill up quickly when storing large files, requiring users to upgrade to a paid plan.”

Piyusha P.

Customer service

“Customer support for free users is somewhat limited, and recovering accidentally deleted files beyond retention periods can be challenging. While bugs are uncommon, minor performance issues can occasionally affect large file operations.”

Piyusha P.

Customer service

“One really key issue for me -- it's frustrating that it doesn't support viewing or opening files that are larger than 100mb. As a marketer frequently dealing with large files (graphics-heavy), it means that I still have to pay for a separate piece of software to access those certain files outside of Google.”

Aaron C.

Founder and CEO

Cons

“Currently there is no way a document can be marked as entered or completed.”

Judy B.

Owner

“I haven't learned all of the aspects of the software and there is some features I don't need so I can't give any cons at this moment.”
