Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

Google Drive is used as the primary document-sharing tool within our organization. Each time has a shared location that they share and collaborate on documents that are needed across the team. Corporate templates are shared in a specific location to be used by anyone. Individuals are also encouraged to share their working documents in Google Drive. In the event of a hardware failure, no data would be lost.
  • Collaboration
  • Sharing
  • Editing
  • Feedback
  • Could be easier to track when a document is shared, who it is shared with, and how to stop sharing.
  • Could be easier to find large documents/save space.
  • Automatic archiving and retention policies could be improved.
  • Document Storage
  • Collaboration
  • Sharing
  • Very cost-effective tool.
  • Don't map ROI at this level.
They can all do the basics equally well, storing and sharing documents. Google Drive is the best from an ease of use perspective. SharePoint is a little better in terms of user management. Dropbox has the best name recognition, but not all the features you will need. If you are a Microsoft shop, then SharePoint is slightly better integrated, I think Drive wins in every other category.

If you are not a Microsoft shop, then Google drive is probably the best solution to store, share, and track corporate documents. Most of your users will be familiar with using the tool personally, very easy to add a corporate layer and use the tool professionally. IT is a very flexible tool, can accommodate almost all use cases and workflows. Can be used collaboratively with partners, customers, and across your business.
