(1-5 of 5)We used Google Backup and Sync to share office files and collaboration work together cross branches, because previously we have a lot of problem of attachment that make user confuse version and lost track.
- file version is very good to recover if we did wrong thing in that file
- can restore file back if we empty from trash
- smart sync for offline file use in case no internet
- work cross platform mobile, Android, web, tablet, PC easy to share and manage permission
- permission on share drive/team drive not yet good, should have more complex permission such as MyDrive
- shared drive and MyDrive make user confuse alot of moving file from MyDrive to shared drive, especially the maximum size of transfer based on free space of MyDrive.
- currently all drive C in PC it will allocate the Google Drive the same drive C in local PC, I have alot of support ticket with users about this.
- store office file
- file versions tracking
- fully collaboration work for cross team cross country
- Google Backup and Sync is not expensive for businesses
- Google Backup and Sync has good data leak prevention inside already
- Provides anywhere access to your documents and spreadsheets
- Allow multiple users to go in and edit files at the same time
- Keep all your files secure and backed up
- Google Backup and Sync could be better at resolving conflicts if some users try to upload different copies of the same file to the same location, it saves both copies and renames one of them slightly, then you have to combine them later.
- Google Drive could have a better app to integrate it with the windows file explorer, right now the best way to interact with it is the web interface instead.
- Switching accounts or having multiple accounts for google backup and sync could be better.
- Letting multiple users edit the same file at the same time.
- Keeping all files backed up and secure
- Giving you access to your files from anywhere.
- It has allowed us to edit files at the same time which is saving our users a ton of time, instead of waiting for their turn to get into a file.
- It allows IT to not have to worry about backing up those files because they live in the cloud and are safe
- It has required some training and changing of thinking for our employees which slowed things down for a little while.
