What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

It provides a 15 GB of free storage for free which helps for beginner's so much and it has high access controls where admin can control even download , screenshot options to the user

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We can easily upload files from mobile , laptop where we can easily view them in mobile also which is the great feature as most of the people use mobiles.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Its optimization for large files is so bad it takes so much time to load one file which irritates user to choose an alternatives instead of drive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is the best software if you think to buy its premium version as it gives only 15 GB for free which will not be sufficient for your organization and you can access its integration apps with other apps like google workspace, Gmail etc.., which is one of the great advantage if you choose drive.

Pros
