Google Docs vs OneDrive Comparison

I like it because it solves all in one document solitions

Maybe can improve the filing system like onedrive

I like the fact that it's easy to share files with everyone on the staff, anything we need is right there stored safely.

I have no complaints about Google Drive, I truly enjoy working with it, and so does the rest of the staff.

Google Docs makes document collaboration (and the whole Google Suite) a lot easier compared to Microsoft OneDrive.

After using Microsoft Word for so many years not everything is the same within Docs which can be frustrating but easily overcome.

It is super easy to edit documents with multiple users with very fast saving speed. Plus sharing links is easy to do.

I use OneDrive for all Microsoft documents and then end up using Google docs for more collaborative efforts.

This software is easy to understand and use and view documents. I like the sharing option for others to work on my documents also, which helps my office work efficiently.

The software, and most online software, lags when a document is opened but is way faster than Onedrive by Microsoft.

Good Docs is a great way to share files to different parties and allow live editing from multiple people. It's easy to see who is currently viewing the document and / or making changes, meaning you aren't accidentally overwriting them.

I have no complaints about Google Docs. I prefer this software over OneDrive products because the functionality makes more sense.

Google Docs makes it easy to work anywhere. Open a browser and begin working on documents, spreadsheets, etc. Files are easily stored in the Google cloud for safety and easy sharing.

Google Docs is not nearly as functional as OneDrive. That's not to say that it isn't good. It's just not as good.

The best part of Google docs is the quality of service with no fear of loss. The trust factor is so high that nobody ever creates a back up of Google Docs because of their reliability.

There are a lot of editing features on this which are missing. This is in comparison to the Microsoft Word on OneDrive.

Your documents saved in real time as you adjust them and available anywhere you have internet! Share only with whom you wish. Safe for confidential document security as well!

Docs will never be Microsoft WORD the staple of such tools, however Googles Cloud Infrastructure is much more user-friendly and versatile than OneDrive

It's FREEEEE & It has a good balance between desktop solutions "aka : Microsoft Office/Word" and a web-based / cloud-based solution such as "Docs". Additionally, it works on any platform be it Microsoft Windows, Chrome OS or using Apple's Mac OS, that's why I don't feel restricted when it comes to using it, as long as I am connected to the internet.

Internet connectivity is required to use it and Microsoft Word still provides more complexity and options and with Microsoft OneDrive, the gap is narrowing.

I use Google Docs for everything. I also use the free items that you get when you download it like Google Sheets, Google Slides, Google Drawings, Google Forms, Google Sites, I have used these with my teams so many times.

I wish there was a better way to connect them into onedrive and to have them all in different folders but connectable through the cloud.

Once I started using Google Docs I have only used cloud based documents. I love that no matter what computer, device, or location all of my documents are always available. Also I love being able to collaborate on documents with anyone you want! Say good by to sending versions of the same word document over and over again. All changes are automatically saved, tracked, and incorporated!

I wish more people used Google docs so all documents would be stored, saved, and shared online. Some users don't understand how different google docs is compared to Word docs.

The flexible nature of the software is amazing. I like the synchronization ability of the software It is available offline, which makes it suppers its kinds. It is convenient to use in editing long words or documents.

It opens doc in read only Sometimes typed words disappear, making it so frustrating. It can only edit docs in ms Word and when save in OneDrive

So easy to use. So easy to share. Everyone already know Word, PPT, and Excel, now you gift them with being able to share the same files online and have people edit them all at the same time. It's wonderful.

Some of the Microsoft Excel functionalities doesn't exist in Google Sheets. But those are some advanced functionality. 95% of my needs from a formula perspective are in Google Sheets.

We have recently switched from using OneDrive to a google based account. The ease of using google docs and sharing within our team members have been such an easy transition.

It took a little time to get used to the different formating but after that the ease of use was unimaginable .

Powerful software that sits within the GSuite system. It allows for easy collaboration and editing of documents, as well as the processing tools that you would be used to when using other applications.

Sometimes files made with other applications don't get read properly and the formatting is a bit off, but this is a minor inconvenience, as this happens with files held in OneDrive also.

Great tool for backing up files. If you have small amounts of storage, you can even use the free version of this software.

Unlike Microsoft OneDrive, working with Excel files is a problem. It doesn't give you all the information on a spreadsheet (like comments). For some staff this became a problem in a small business.

Google Docs makes it SO easy to collaborate with others on documents, give, request, and incorporate comments, and share files that can be updated in realtime. For collaboration and sharing, Google Docs is the only platform I use.

As a word processor, it doesn't have all the great features that Word has. It's not ideal for creating a new document if you need a lot of formatting options (ESPECIALLY tables, which are a nightmare in Docs). Luckily, you can always just upload a document you've created in Word to Docs and it does a pretty good job keeping formatting.

For my own personal online storage it works fine. II am an andriod user so I like the storage for some personal files.

I don't like how Google has their own version of Office and that it screws up my Office files so I don't use it as often as I should. It is not as secure as OneDrive either.

The pros of this software is the security, ease of use, and accessibility. I have used it to store important documents, videos, and other files. Great for use as storage for sharing with team.

It does not have as many features as Onedrive by Microsoft when it comes to editing documents. Google docs does not support certain functions when it comes to editing documents and processing data on spreadsheets. There are also errors when trying to download documents; I often have to convert it from word to a google document then download it as docx.

Google Docs is a must have if you want to make a team work: you can share a document to be read only or modified with two clicks, and you need only a mail address to access it.

Microsoft Word is way better than Google Docs when we look at the modification features, but one is expensive and the share feature is more complicated (must have OneDrive) and the other is free and easier to use.

The flawless synchronisation of files and their contents. Outperforms both DropBox and OneDrive in terms of the number of conflicts and the ease of use. Even the more remedial staff can become incredibly proficient and leverage the power of the documents within a few days.

The complexity of having documents that are updated in real-time means there are certain limitations on the feature sets, complicated formulae in the Sheets element, and the advanced referencing in the word processor spring immediately to mind. I'm not sure that I'd write a textbook in this program, but it is more than adequate for basic to medium complexity documents.

The ability to work on documents simultaneously with projects teammates has been highly beneficial with Google docs. It is easy for multiple people to sign on, and for everyone to see the progress made by each person.

The problem we have often run into, is formatting. Google formats their own way, but most often we had to change to a Microsoft Word format to be able to submit to most research platforms. So, if formatting is not as strict to the common Word styles, then I would highly recommend this product for group projects over any other.

I love the fact that we can share the documents and collaborate with users easily.

On the mobile version, i wish it would allow edit right away. Instead of clicking on the pencil. Or if i try to click in the doc it makes it full screen first rather than editing it.

it's quick, easy, and everyone has access to google. and its cheap

it gets clunky with multiple users, formatting works poorly, instances of lost work, when comments are resolved its tough to relocate them (ditto accepted changes), tough to use and follow with multiple users if many are editing. downloading and reuploading can cause issues

it comes with MS365 so installed on my computer

Don't understand when it auto saves to this vs. to my harddrive

I love the way you organize your files. Very helpful.

Not as good with collaboration as google docs.

It can synchronize with your computer. Sharing with other OneDrive user is easy.

One Drive is not entirely compatible with Google Docs

Well, Microsoft finally got its own file sharing system. About time, and it's pretty good too! My favorite part is that you can get it with a Microsoft 365 subscription. Yes!

Because this is Microsoft and not Google, it doesn't sync with certain useful Google products, such as Google docs.

It works for collaborating with other coworkers and others that I need to share files with

Its not as intuitive as dropbox or Google Docs, and thought we have one drive, our team has seemed to migrate to Google Docs for our file sharing.

The works very similarly to Google Docs.

There are sometimes unexpected delays, which can be annoying.

Great Customer support. Allows google docs implementation which is great.

Can still improve in terms of security. No encryption.

It can be used and worked from online from anywhere, similar to google docs. It is a fail safe way to back up files as well.

I do not find it as easy to use as google docs. Many people use google docs so I am forced to have two different places to keep and share work. An interface would be nice.

OneDrive is useful and works for its purpose.

I only used it because colleagues were using it. More people use google docs to share.

I like that I'm able to access documents from anywhere! As long as I'm logged in, I can share and create folders.

At least in my district, I must log in our website for my 365 account including the onedrive. If my computer is idle it will kick me off the document I was currently on, so I have to continuously refresh.

The ease of connetabilty with multiple device platforms and share ability of files.

The lack of a full Chrome product to add to the share ability of google docs.

It does provide users with the ability to collaborate. I realize this was put in place to compete with Google Docs. I do like it better than Google docs (mainly because it 'plays nicer' with Word and Excel).

I have very little occasion to collaborate so that feature - which is the main thrust - isn't much use to me. Frankly, Sharepoint works just fine for that and we'd already been using that for a while. I suppose I'm in the minority on this but I just really dislike it when I feel that using any application is forced on me.

It is a perfect place to store your files in the cloud and share them with other people or between your different devices. It's free and you only need a google account. Everyone usually has one

I do not see any inconvenience, you can even edit files shared within it with google docs

Love that I can have my files locally on my computer but it syncs and I can access them from anywhere

Doesn't share as easily as Google Docs, Relatively little GB space before you need to purchase more, not as giving to non-profits as Google
