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

“it's a super easy cloud based SFTP server, built on buckets that are also accessible programatically, and webhook integration to aid in automation.”

Eric K.

Vice President, Engineering

“My favorite feature with SFTP To Go was it's accessibility across multiple platforms. Whether it was accessing the server on a new/temporary computer or integrating with a trusted desktop client (which is my preference).”

Colin W.

Tax Preparer, Owner

“I love the webhooks feature, and the ability to provision access credentials for specific subdirectories.”

David K.

Director of Technology

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

“We utilize the SFTP for pharmaceutical claims, and I grab the new document each week, but there is not way to sort newest document to oldest or anything like that, which makes finding each document a little trickier.”

Isaac C.

Enterprise Business Analyst

“You can't send a web portal link to schools to transfer their data unless you pay for the higher tier.”

Ashlynn C.

Director of Software and Production

“For smaller teams with limited storage and transfer needs, the pricing can be manageable, but it becomes more difficult to justify as storage, users, or data transfer requirements increase.”
