Overall Satisfaction with Google Cloud Storage
I use Google Cloud Storage on a daily basis in order to organize various documents that I view daily as a Recruiter (resumes, job descriptions, various hiring paperwork, etc). In addition, Google Cloud Storage is used across our organization in order to make document sharing easier for all groups that work cross functionally.
- Ease of sharing within the company.
- Easy to organize files/groups via Google Cloud Storage versus other cloud storage products.
- Easy to sync other Google products (gmail, calendar, etc) to cloud storage.
- Although it's pretty easy to navigate, maybe changing the layout/display just slightly would be helpful. Especially for new users who really need to improve overall organization.
- Offering a better tutorial for new users/groups would be helpful. I never got a tutorial when I first started using it and it took awhile to figure out how to navigate.
- Not sure what the overall cost looks like for our company, but any discounts offered for companies that also use google products at the enterprise level (like Digital First Media/Adtaxi) would be nice.
- It has assisted greatly with our ability to share documents/information cross functionally. Especially within our advertising team, we store a large amount of information to assist new hires and refresh current employees.
- Something that could improve is employees' understanding of how to best utilize Google Cloud Storage. This could improve by implementing a potential training video or tutorial.
- Overall, Google Storage has been great. I have not used a similar storage product that had the same enterprise level capabilities.
Dropbox is best for media files (videos, pictures) as it seems more structured for that capability. OneDrive is okay, but is tougher to navigate versus Google Cloud Storage. I also prefer the other products in the Google suite versus the Microsoft suite, so I would always pick Google Storage for that reason if I had the choice.
