Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive
Google Drive is being used across our organization in tandem with the whole Google Suite, mostly to manage Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. It allows us to collaborate on document creation online—a standard most users have come to expect—as well as have single sources of truth for each doc, etc.
- Online collaboration.
- Management of Google Docs, Sheets and Slides.
- Accessible on any device.
- Finding documents that have been shared with you can be a small nightmare as they tend to get lost in the ether, unless you are incredibly organized.
- The native desktop integration does not work as nicely as Dropbox.
- Sharing and permissions can be confusing because they're almost too complex.
- I'm sure it's saved many dollars in Microsoft Office license fees.
- It's increased efficiency in achieving business objectives.
Google Drive works perfectly when used in sync with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, but is less ideal for other file types. Dropbox and Dropbox Business, however, are far superior in terms of native desktop integration and managing any other file types. Dropbox also has a nicer web interface, and their Paper (competitor to Docs) is amazing.
