What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Google drive is an easy to use, secure and has most of the features we need. It not only securely stores my projects, but also gives me quick access to them and allows for fast sharing among my my team. It is currently our main cloud storage platform and fits perfectly into our google suite.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It has enhanced our ability to collaborate with international clients since our capabilities aren't just remote anymore. I love that I can access data on google drive using my computer, tablet and even my iPhone. Saving files in the cloud is automatic so there are no lost copies. Also no one can see or edit your documents in google drive unless you have permitted them.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Downloading and uploading relatively large files is slow. It has strict restrictions on file sizes that can be uploaded.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It is an affordable storage service and an efficient tool for us to share files. It is crucial for us as a real estate company to be able to share our work securely and easily.
