Pros

Filestream integrates perfectly with Windows Explorer. I LOVE that I can access files on my computer that are on the shared drive in the same way I would access a file in MyDocuments.
Overall I am pleased with drive. It is user friendly and being someone who is not tech savvy it is nice to be able to use without having to contact support.
Overall, I am very happy with Google Drive. It is a good investment when backing up your files.

Pros

Probably the best over-arching things are that everything works and the customer support is brilliant.
This is fantastic product supported by an excellent team that will work with you to fulfil your company's needs.
They are on top of changes in technology and have been very willing to understand and adapt to the unique requirements of my business. I am glad I chose them when I did.

Cons

There isn't much I don't like about google drive. The offline work can be a little tricky at times and I have lost a few sentences due to this feature.
There is some frustration for lack of support for older devices which sometimes are just used for storage themselves.
Furthermore, it seems to keeps failing to sync a specific type of file (.suo , a Visual Studio related file) which however is only just a bit annoying and does not cause any trouble.

Cons

Full Audit trail is missing, Multi Factor authentication is missing.
One issue with the software is that sometimes users have troubles due to Adobe settings.
The customers find it more difficult to use than a normal pdf.

One of the best cloud storage services!

Reviewed 5 years ago

We use Google Drive on a daily bases, and we would be lost without it. The collaboration and file sharing options are of our greatest importance.

Pros

Google Drive is one of the best cloud storage providers. It offers integration with Google Docs and Google Sheets which is one of the best things it has, including with a lot of third-party apps. Also, the collaboration option is one of the most important tools, and that helps our Company with the day to day work.

Cons

Here I would mention only the file sharing security, maybe it has to have stronger security option.

I have great experiences with Google Drive as it allows me to save space on my computer and easily connect to third party apps which i need in my day to day online business.

Pros

It has Google Docs integration and many Third Party Apps which are easily accessible, thus saving you time and money.

Cons

Security is a nagging factor as the file sharing security is weak. A private encryption option would be useful.

Ease Of Use

The benefits I have experienced overall using Drive is that I am able to store white papers I read at home and store them into the Drive and read them anywhere else on a device with Google Drive.

Pros

The Google Drive has helped me store important presentation files into the cloud and use them later on a different computer when it was time for presentation time.

Cons

Security is something Google focuses on, however, people still have concerns about security breaches and the chance data can be snooped.

I have been using google drive for as long as I have had a Gmail account. Feels like over 10 years. I have used it for both business and personal. I consider it an Invaluable tool that everyone should take the time to learn how easy it is to use.

Pros

The ease of use, the ease of functionality. Not knowing how or what to expect from a cloud based storage. Google takes the time to explain and walk you through the process. The ability to access your files and data from anywhere on various devices is optimum.

Cons

Sometimes I get worried about the security. I wish there were 2 part security. ie: login from unkn device- use passcode

The Classic Drive

Reviewed 4 years ago

I have enjoyed it. It is great for cloud storage and I will continue to use it!

Pros

I've used Google Drive for years. I used it throughout college and as a professional in the field. It has been consistent and safe way to make sure I don't lose my documents and media (Yes, I have had two computers crash on me and lost everything before). This past year, however, I have used it even more at my school, as I have my documents for students and the documents/slides that we used in our district. It has a lot more features than I knew of. I enjoy being able to collaborate across our district with others during e-learning (since we cannot meet in large groups like we did in the past). We have been sharing so many wonderful things with one another.

Cons

I would say security. I think when you compare it to its competitor, the security is not as good and could be improved.

Pros

It is easy to use and does the job it needs to do.

Cons

I would like to see more features such as a secure way to put digital files on a thumb-drive or flash card. Also, I would suggest the following for files viewed online to make it function more inline with how adobe acrobat functions. - Add a toolbar button to show one page at a time and allow users to use PgUp/PgDown to flip (no scrolling) to the previous/next page. And make this compatible with a remote. - Add a toolbar button for true full screen mode where even the annotation tools are hidden from view.

Vendor response

Thanks, Ryan for your detailed review. The option to download a protected PDF file and store or distribute them on thumb-drives or flash cards exists for years now. The issue is that your system is configured to use True SSO which requires your users first authenticate against your back-end. If you need to distribute files and have those users manually login to receive the secured content, then you...
