Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive
I am using google drive as personal document repository. I use Google Drive for storing documents, images, and scanned documents.
- I have a photography hobby and I use DSLR. Most of the time I take a photo in raw images, which are in the size of 12-20 MB for a single image. Previously I used to use a physical portable hard disk to back them up. But when I spoke with the Google drive support team, and learning that when uploading raw files, Google Drive doesn't change any file format, I started backing up my raw images in Google Drive.
- Google Drive also provides a preview for different SLDR Raw photos.
- Online Document/Excel editing is also awesome.
- And last but not the least, is the mobile/desktop sync for Google Drive.
- I sometimes use Microsoft's OneDrive. They have a nice feature, while we search, it searches document files as well as document content. Even if I upload a scanned image, OneDrive can search for content inside that (after certain time, I think they do some processing). If google drive can bring that feature, that would be great.
- Positive Impact: I can share a higher size of zip/documents through Google Drive, which I am unable to send via email.
- Negative Impact: There should be a yearly subscription price.
