What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Has to be the ease of use and the close connection that exists between Google Drive and the diverse list of Google productivity applications. On the side of ease of use, I think anyone who is able to surf the internet can automatically use Google Drive without running into trouble . Meanwhile as it relates to Google Drives connection with other Google products , my own experience shows that it makes me work faster , by providing access to automatic backup for a whole lot of my work activity that usually takes place on tools like Google Sheets , Google Forms and Slides.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

File sharing with Google Drive is unmatched on any other platform. I am sharing files simply by clicking the sharing button and inputting the file recipients email. I am even allowed to share files with non-Google Drive users without them being mandated to first signup for a Google Drive account and for me, this is a privilege only Google Drive currently affords me.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Drive does not make provision for workflow automation , like other top file storage platforms have done in recent years . Workflow automation within Google Drive would lead to the acceleration of minor business processes.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google Drive is one among the two cloud storage platforms adopted by my organization , but it is the one I prefer the most . This is because of the ease of use it affords me in terms of connection with other applications and i have to mention vast integration too.

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Sharing group folder files within the team and with clients is safe and secure as it ensures that they are virus free by scanning them. Google backups all our important files(we mostly use it for this).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love that Google drive is part of the google environment so long as you have a google account, you don't need to signup any more you can just start using it from the website. It also has a mobile app that functions well making it much more accessible.

What do you dislike most about this product?

They should allow for scanning for files larger than 100MBs. The platform has much room for improvement.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Google cloud is an amazing cloud storage for small to midsize companies since all the employees Gmail accounts are in sync with it.
