The king of team collaboration.

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Synchronization. Google Drive has the fastest multi-device synchronization feature, of any cloud storage program I have used. Coming from a background of other cloud storage programs, I better understand the quality of Google Drive in the aforementioned area.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Team collaboration. Having a cross-section of people working on spreadsheets simultaneously is a common occurrence with me and my colleagues in the workplace , and this only became the norm because of Google Drives support for team collaboration.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Drive struggles a lot when I need to access large sized word documents or spreadsheets. Documents that typically runs into hundreds of pages, do take time to open on Google Drive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Collaboration is a vital part of the work life of the average, modern day professional. This perhaps makes Google Drive an obvious need, I guess.

Gold standard, when it comes to file storage.

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

File sharing on Google Drive is as simple as surfing the internet. Regardless of whether the person I am sharing my file with is a Google Drive user or not. This is a major point of differentiation between Drive and similar applications.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Fast and automated synchronization across multiple devices containing my Drive login credential, has to be my obvious favorite experience with Google Drive.

What do you dislike most about this product?

When I have had to open very large sized documents on Google Drive, there is always that tendency for me to experience a lag. This really always disturbs my workflow but I assume it is one of the limitations of a browser based software product.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

One of the reasons why my organization has stuck to Google Drive, is its ability to integrate with our in-house software stack. This is another reason I will recommend it to anyone.
