Overall Satisfaction with Google Drive

We use Google Drive for short-term sharing of files that are too large to send via email or WhatsApp. We also use the platform for storing business files to be accessed by multiple remote users. We even use Google Drive to provide uploading functionality to clients and other 3rd parties from whom we require files that are too large to send via email or WhatsApp.
  • File viewing, whether PDF, sound or video files
  • Access control from view-only to edit rights
  • Synchronisation with local folders
  • More flexibility of choosing an account on which storage space is used.
  • Access control could be more intuitive especially when adding new files to an already shared folder.
  • Synchronising local folders was tricky to first set up
  • Secure and trusted Cloud storage
  • Flexible Access control
  • Cost effective
  • Collaboration for a small business including 3 remote employees, 2 remote contractors and the occasional client as well.
  • Super affordable and scalable. As we grow, so can our cloud storage.
  • Wide range of integration partner-products including our CRM
I have used both Dropbox and Google Drive. In my experience, Google Drive is much more flexible and the seamless integration with our other Google products and even non-Google products makes our processes much easier to set up and much more efficient at the end of the day. It also feels that Google is more intuitive than Dropbox

For personal and business use, Google Drive is super flexible and accessible. Even if you upgrade to a paid tier, the cost is very reasonable. Perfect for sharing files, storing files in the cloud for backup purposes and collaboration between different users, even if the users are geographically far apart.
