Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

Google Drive allows our Management and Sales Team to organize, share, and edit documents with each other. You can create folders, hold a variety of document types, and have 15GB of free storage. After that you can purchase more storage starting at $1.99/month. I've been using it for several years now and haven't had to upgrade. You can access the drive from any laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Converting documents to PDF's is extremely simple as well. You can email, text, or print documents from a device with ease. It's a free, simple, and easy way to communicate, share documents, etc.
  • Email, text, and print documents effortlessly.
  • Easily create folders and organize documents within the Drive.
  • Set a security level that you're comfortable with before sharing documents with co-workers for viewing, editing, or commenting.
  • Depending on the internet connection or if you forget to close out from one device before opening it on another, some edits may not be saved.
  • Keeps me and our team organized.
  • Allows us to collaborate easily even though we work from different locations.
  • Allows me to send my team updated menus at any time even if I'm not on site.
Dropbox allows for some collaboration as well, but I like the editing features within Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets more so than the Microsoft Online features that Dropbox uses. Plus, when dealing with the sales team from Dropbox, it left a lot to be desired. With Google, I've never had to reach out to customer support for issues accessing documents. Storage sizes for the free versions of both are similar as well.
Plain and simple, it's free and easy to use. After several years of using it, I've never encountered a problem. I've recommended using Google Drive to several other local businesses and they've had success with it as well. The convenience of being able to access it from any device at any time makes it incredibly convenient for those of us that bounce between locations.

Most companies are operating off Google based emails, plus Google Business is on the rise so using Google Drive is easy, efficient, and practical. When I'm in meetings at our brewery, I can easily access the drive from my phone, edit our taplist, and text it over to our bartender for printing. If an account comes into the taproom interesting in kegs, I can easily access our sales sheets from my phone and print them on the spot even if I don't have my laptop.
