Best Cloud Storage Option for Enterprise

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

The cost is very competitive especially when compared to the breadth of features and the amount of cloud storage we get. Then it really makes it a very value-for-money service to have.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The brand of Google and the trust that comes along with it. The quality of service they provide is unmatched. The security and safety of the data are really good. I can sleep peacefully with the complete trust that my cloud files are in safe hands. They have a good level of replication factor, which is the cherry on top for safety. The desktop client easily syncs all file changes efficiently. Provides the option to stream files thus clearing space from the device. Keeps track of all the activity and error reports in an easy-to-access list.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It's difficult to re-sync an existing computer after a reinstall of the desktop client or complete OS. Currently, the process is very tedious. We need to upload files first, then delete the existing old PC folder from the cloud, and then rename the new one to the old one. Overall keeping the computer sync separate from the normal drive folder itself makes it confusing and creates all this re-sync problem.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You can go ahead without any second thought. It's one of the best choices for cloud storage.

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Drive has the broadest integration capability of any of the mainstream cloud based, file storage software products I have used. This is an important aspect of my experience using Google Drive because it ensures seamless transfer of data to and from Google Drive with existing software technologies we have deployed outside the Google ecosphere.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

This is its easy to use interface across multiple device types. Google Drive is just easy to use for anyone I believe, as a result of my own experience. Its automatic synchronisation of files across multiple devices in real time, makes for smooth access to important work files from anywhere I am.

What do you dislike most about this product?

There are occasions when Google Drive just slows down when uploading or downloading large sized files. It is only at times like this, that I have had any complaints about Google Drive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Drive has strong collaboration capabilities and this is a major reason for professionals and teams to consider deploying it.
