Google Drives integrates well with the wider Google workspace software suite. This makes me more productive at work as I am able to move data from one file to another seamlessly, thereby aiding collaboration.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Files shared on the Google Drive platform aren't protected by password or passcodes. I believe this leaves me vulnerable if a third party accesses my shared files . On the other hand, Google Drive currently has no 'electronic signature ' feature . This means we have had to use a third party electronic signature collection tool, making our workflow a bit scattered.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

In terms of a fast learning curve and adoption within a workforce, Google Drive is an effective storage software to really consider .
