What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Cloud Drive is a very easy to use experience and is very intuitive to start using. I love how easy it's been to set access levels to certain documents and the ease of sharing and collaborating on documents.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite aspect of Google Drive has been the file storage and sharing capabilities. It was a great solution during the COVID shutdowns for our team to share files, collaborate on certain projects, and stay on the same page.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I wish it was easier to share files with outside users that do not have gmail email address. It is possible to do so, but it's much easier if someone already has a gmail account.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

This is a great product for file storage and document collaboration. If you need more than that for your organization, you may consider looking at similar products.
