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

“Easily managed and basic restrictions are set for user access with secure data transfer. If the SSL certificate is not valid, the SFTP url will be down and not accessible.”

Joshua O.

Infrastructure Engineer

“The user interface is intuitive and there is a lot more functionality than we require.”

Mark C.

Technical Director

“The user interface is very simple to use and the product has a lot of functionality.”

Mark C.

Technical Director

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

“Having used this system for several years, we are reluctantly moving away as the cost is prohibitive.”

Mark C.

Technical Director

“The amount of GB that I can provide to the user's folder is missing, that is, do not copy more GB than allowed in a folder”

Reina C.

System Administrator

“Unnecessary steps for placing the important files on the servers.”

Ronny H.

IT Administrator
