Great Cloud Storage Product

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Quick Syncing Process Direct link sharing from the drive folder Drive folder is easily mapped to windows Progress Bar constantly notifies you, including any errors with file uploads

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It’s ease of integration in desktop and mobile environments

What do you dislike most about this product?

There isn’t much I dislike but if Google could list the computers that are syncing on the online home splash page rather than have a user click computers and find it, that will be great.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would suggest using the free 15gb to test out if this product is for you. I can recommend Google drive based on it being professional, easy to use and secure for data storage and syncing. It also works well for teams using a shared drive.
