What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

Real-time synchronization and multi-person collaboration are the strongest part of my Google Drive experience , and I see both these factors as the major point of difference between Google Drive and most available alternatives.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ability to collaborate on documentations in real-time with my peers, and even introduce additional features like chat, via add-ons is my favorite aspect of Drive.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Drive is linked to my G suite account, without any form of two-factor authentication , when I need to switch from work email to my Google Drive. This ensures, that anyone who gains access to my Gsuite email account, has automatic access to my Drive.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Asides the above security issue I mentioned, Google Drive ticks all of the boxes for a file storage platform, both in terms of features and capability.

Best and secure cloud storage platform!

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Google Drive from other similar products?

It is comparatively easy to use as compared to its market peers!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It is an easy-to-use online platform to store data safely, which provides the feature of drag and drop. You can easily access your files whenever you require, which are saved on this platform. The best thing about this software is that it automatically back ups your data.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Google Cloud Storage only lets you back up a small amount of data for free - above 15 GB, you have to buy additional storage. But the cost is justified because of the security and services it provides.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Small monthly payments that are pre-authorised, so you never have to think about it!
