Pros

“It completely eliminates the need for email attachments or physical flash drives. Despite minor UI clutter and the occasional need to manually clean up folders, it remains my go-to platform for cloud storage and team collaboration.”

Ritesh G.

Fullstack Developer

“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

Pros

“Once configured, it has delivered consistent backups without issues, and the combination of scheduling, versioning and notifications makes it feel like excellent value for the price.”

Jamie E.

Analyst

“As well as using iDrive for remote access of my data when I'm on another device on the go, I have fully retrieved my data when a device failed (PC and laptop), without the need to get a tech to pull the data out for me.”

Kimberly C.

Certified Online Business Manager

“Overall, it has some lacks in the storage like syncing, fast access. But, at the same time the pricing is good”

Md A.

Research Development

Cons

“Additionally, I hate the updated cost/storage structure where my emails count towards my Drive storage and if I want more than 15 GB I have to pay a monthly subscription or delete important/sentimental emails.”

Sara S.

Client Relations Coordinator

“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

Cons

“My home internet service maxes out at 10mpbs upload speeds, which was making my initial backup of over 300gb of files take a long time.”

Robert B.

Host, Producer

“My upload speed to iDrive cloud backup is unusually slow, causing significant delays in backing up my files.”

Haixun L.

Development Expert

“Barely acceptable upload speed of small files and terrible upload speed of files over few gigabytes.”
