Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

We are using Google Drive for multiple purposes:
  • For management purposes, we are using it to share and collect documents from different departments on a centralized drive which is associated with directors' mail ID.
  • For students, we are using it to collect various feedbacks and documents when required. We are also sharing teaching material, notes, and model test papers using drives. For quizzes, we are using Google Forms which is again a part of Google Drive.
  • So, in short, in this pandemic time, we are using it as an office tool, as well as a learning management system.
  • First and foremost, you can use it to keep your documents online and download them when required.
  • Second, you can share the documents and can work in the collaboration with other people in a shared file, so distance is no longer a thing to consider.
  • You can collect reviews or feedback for any product or training in a very little time.
  • You can conduct quizzes online.
  • Reports are presented using spreadsheets as well as in the form of pie and bar charts.
  • UI is a bit complicated to understand for beginners who are not from a technical background.
  • Internet isa must, requires a little higher bandwidth.
  • One more problem is in public folders anyone can edit and delete the files created by other users; I think that should be controlled. A person can edit only the files created by him/ her.
  • For education organizations, the standard GSuit plan is free and provides 2Tb storage to every user best way to save money.
  • For Individuals, the free space is 5GB, enough for a person to store documents and complete day to day activities.
  • Uploading and downloading time is one of the negatives of Drive other than that everything is perfect.
Google Drive provides more space in comparison to all the other file storage systems available in the market. Also, it provides a 2-way verification system so it is more secure.
