High level security and easy file sharing

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google Cloud Drive Enterprise has the easiest to use UI, the most intuitive design and syncs seamlessly across all cloud suite offerings. It has become the standard for my organization, although we do use other file sharing / drive storage products. The preferred one for us is G Drive - it's unmatched in user friendliness, security and functionality.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It sync across all of my other Google products, including (but not limited to) docs, sheets and slides. It is a gamechanger for sharing specific folders (granular access control) to other teammates or disciplines, and it makes sharing files out of our organization an absolute breeze.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The biggest downside is not getting data reports on file usage - it would be helpful for some teams to know which folders / drives / repositories are most often visited, who they are visited by, times of day, etc. That would help streamline the way we access data and would influence how we structure our storage.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Unless you need granular analytics on the way your files are being used internally, there is no downside to using this product. It's been a game changer for my company and we certainly won't be looking back.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
